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.)
The Space Force revealed this week that it has space control weapons on orbit, but the head of U.S. Space Command said the U.S. still has “a long way to go” in improving its ability to detect and target threats in the domain.
