I do note that as I drive around bases that a lot more people are armed than 30-35 years ago, and the magazine is always inserted, unlike my day. I'll accept your statement that it's in condition 1.
Since most of the gate security details I see usually have 2-5 enlisted people, all clearly far more heavily armed than I remember in my day, I assume that if some event happens at the gate they have standing orders and a protocol to follow to escalate that includes deadly force?

I can assure you their sidearms are carried in Condition 1. All DoD security force personnel are trained to the deadly force continuum with regular refresher training.
