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.)
As the Space Force prepares to field new fleets of satellites that can track moving targets in the air and on the ground, it’s working to ensure it has the organizational structures in place to onboard and operate those systems.
