National Guardsmen in Texas have been supporting the Texas National Guard Counter Drug Task Force by tearing down abandoned homes identified as crack distribution locations. “Crackdown” teams usually comprise four Air National Guard and two Army personnel trained for quick demolition, taking the houses down to bare lots within a couple of hours. Some come down much quicker, like one demolished within 24 seconds by MSgt. Marcus Wilkes. (Report by CMSgt. Gonda Moncada.)
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
