United States Forces Korea senior enlisted advisor Army Command Sgt. Maj. Barry Wheeler recently stopped by Kunsan AB, South Korea, to see how the airmen of the Wolf Pack and the US Army soldiers who support them with Patriot batteries are faring. Wheeler noted that USFK officials are trying to make Korean assignments “a little more normal” and see quality of life improvements coming as USFK downsizes the number of facilities on the peninsula.
U.S. Southern Command recently announced its first lethal strike on a suspected narco-trafficking vessel in two months, and the first under a newly formed permanent counter-cartel task force. The U.S. is also reportedly planning to transfer MQ-9 drones to Colombia to bolster its counter-cartel efforts.
