OCONUS, March 24, 2025 - Hello, I am [ ]. I received your care package today (March 24, 2025) and I am so very thankful. There wasn’t one thing in there that won’t be useful and there is so much that I can share with my fellow coworkers. I’d probably say that my favorite thing on there were the Burt’s Bee chapsticks. That’s all I will use and I literally just finished my last tube yesterday so it was ironic timing that I received this package from y'all with 3 tubes in it. I also really enjoyed reading the handwritten notes, especially one from a high school sophomore.
Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. (April 19, 2025): When the U.S. Air Force needs to move mountains of cargo around the world, it turns to the new C-5M Super Galaxy aircraft. In this photo by Airman 1st Class Devin Morgan, Airmen from the 709th Airlift Squadron and the 512th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron load a Pierce Arrow Telesquirt fire truck for long range transport. Weighing approximately 33,000 pounds without water, the fire truck’s size and weight required careful coordination and precision handling during the loading process.
The fire truck was donated to the Denton Humanitarian Assistance Program, a U. S. government effort launched in 1987 that allows for space available on military aircraft to be used to carry humanitarian aid supplies to countries in need.

PENTAGON, (March 1, 2025): The Pentagon is deploying a Stryker brigade combat team and a general support aviation battalion to the southwestern border, accelerating efforts to fulfill President Donald J. Trump's directive to bolster military support in securing the U.S. – Mexico border. The units, equipped with wheeled vehicle and air capabilities, are set to reinforce border operations in the coming weeks, Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell announced today.
Each SBCT is a mechanized infantry force of approximately 4,400 soldiers, and the Army's nine SBCTs — seven active-duty and two National Guard — are known for their rapid deployment and versatility. Built around the Stryker vehicle — an eight-wheeled armored platform — the brigade balances mobility, protection and firepower. Capable of transport via C-130 Hercules aircraft within 96 hours, the Stryker excels in operations requiring swift response.
