CALIFORNIA: In June, the California National Guard deployed a division sized element overseas, for the first time since the 1950s.

On 15OCT2023, local newspapers report that North Dakota Army National Guard’s 817th Engineer Company deployed to Texas, to assist U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP, aka Border Patrol) with operations along the border with Mexico.

Ramped-up deportation flight operations by U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as well as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP, aka Border Patrol). The flights are sometimes referred to as ‘repatriation flights’, or ‘removal flights’, or ‘family unit removal flight’.
The last RC-26B made its final flight on 16FEB2023. For more than 30 years, beginning in 1991 (tail end of the Cold War), the RC-26B Condor not only worked anti-drug missions, but international warzone counter-insurgency flights, domestic homeland security missions, wild-fire fighting and disaster relief efforts: “This aircraft is kind of like a chameleon. It could morph in to just about anything you could imagine, as far as hurricane support, counter-drug, the border or wildfire support. It was like a Swiss Air National Guard Knife.”-Major Luis Flores, RC-26 pilot, Texas Air National Guard
The RC-26B is a modified C-26B, which began service in the last decade of the non-declared Cold War as the C-26A. At one point it was known as the ISR (Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance).
National Guard report about combat use of RC-26B, somewhere in South West Asia (Middle East), 18JUL2013:
During those 30 plus years the Condor (modified Fairchild Metro 23) was flown by units in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Iowa, Mississippi, New Mexico, Texas, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Washington.

Incomplete (tip-o-the iceberg, seriously this isn’t the half-of-it!) list of links to United States (U.S.) drug related crimes and oddities for the month of January 2023:
U.S. Coast Guard District 7 PADET photo, 16JAN2023.
On 16JAN2023, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) transferred approximately 250 kilograms of cocaine, and three smugglers, to Dominican Republic. They were captured in the Mona Passage on 10JAN2023.
U.S. Coast Guard photo via U.S. Navy 5th Fleet, 30JAN2023.
On 30JAN2023, USCG Cutter Emlen Tunnell (WPC 1145) captured 4-thousand kilograms of hashish and 512 kilograms of methamphetamine, in the Gulf of Oman. This was the first drug seizure in 2023 for Combined Task Force (CTF)-150: “This is just the beginning of our work in delivering maritime security operations in the region to stop illicit activities and drug smuggling. This comes as a result of a valued partnership between CTF 150 and all partner nations in Combined Maritime Forces.”-Captain James Byron, United Kingdom Royal Navy, current leader of CMF-150 (so, even the U.S. led anti-smuggling operations in the Gulf of Oman are commanded by Red Coats!)
Also on 30JAN2023, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence gave a short history of the U.S. Tactical Analysis Teams (TATs) deployed to Central and South America, in the name of taking the Reagan era War on Drugs international. The first TAT was formed and deployed in 1989. Obviously, to me, it has been a resounding failure, but don’t tell that to the taxpayer funded U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence, or U.S. Southern Command (SouthCom).

During the most recent G20 meeting, global leaders ignorantly blamed labor problems on the “COVID-19 crisis” and climate change, when the reality is that the global labor problems are the direct result of G20 leaders implementing job killing Pandemic restrictions and climate policies!

CID remains committed to protecting the force, and the public, from the scourge of the fentanyl epidemic.”-Maria Thomas, CID Special Agent
