Thank you from Djibouti Africa! We received your care package yesterday. We absolutely love the snacks and sweet treats. The letters were also a major morale boost. We all appreciate the support and all the goodies. We are 24/7 ops and these mean more than can be articulated in emails. God bless.

Camp Pendleton, California. (May 16, 2025): When an American aircraft goes down in enemy territory, the military must move fast to recover air crews and any extremely sensitive information on board. In this photo by Sergeant Bryant Rodriguez, Marines cut into a vehicle during the Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel (TRAP) course, a program specifically designed for the recovery of aircraft, personnel, and equipment in the event an aircraft goes down either due to mechanical failures or by enemy fire.
The course teaches how to develop and execute plans to recover the personnel, aircraft, and any sensitive material in the event that they go down. Once assembled, a highly skilled team of professionals will safely extract downed aviators while destroying downed aircraft to prevent sensitive materials from falling into the wrong hands.

PENTAGON, (March 25, 2025): Service members assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border have a new directive: conduct patrols.
Until now, the U.S. military mission at the southern border has been static. Service members have been engaged mostly in stationary detection and monitoring activities. But no longer.
On March 20, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order allowing service members involved in the mission to do more and conduct their mission on foot or on board Stryker armored vehicles.
