Slightly off topic. "Lethal force is authorized beyond this point"

It's really a rhetorical question.

If anyone has been on the grounds and you slightly leave a walking path to take a shortcut somewhere, a very nice but authoritive Marine will appear from nowhere, with a M16 pointed at you and ask for your credentials and get you to understand that you need to stay on the official paths while on base.

Spent a lot of time behind signs like that with an M4 and a smile.

Outside of an Air Force base, it wouldn't hold as much weight.

Years ago I did door to door sales... Found one house out in the country with fence, signs etc. (Every sales person knows the more defense the easier the sale) I ignored the signs, as usual, passed through the woods and encountered a beautiful meadow with the house at the other end. There were these nice white rocks lining the driveway to the house along the meadow.... Then I saw the sign on the first rock....Private firing range. 100 yrds. Winchester 30.30.

It wasn't a No Trespassing Lethal force sign, but it got the message across even better!

While I can't answer for sure, the justifiable homicide statute states that homicide is justifiable to prevent the commission of a felony, in which is being performed in the presence of the slayer. Trespassing in itself, is not a felony, so I wouldn't think lethal force can be used in these circumstances.

Nothing is 'off limits' when it comes to 'National Security'...

I lived there when I was "jus a wee lil lass" and we would always play in the woods and later went 4 wheeling on some of the "unofficial trails" and never once saw a Marine on that base even...

Then I'll toss in my other thought:

After discovering such a place, I'd be tempted to call the local Mormon stake and arrange for daily visits by missionary lads on three successive days. Then call the outreach program directors at a few evangelical churches.

After all that, somebody is just bound to succeed. And, if not, I'd start looking for a few pushy Bhuddists.
