A look at the high-energy laser @JointTFSB is using to combat cartel drones— The task force saying, “The Army Multi-Purpose High Energy Laser is designed to track, disable, and defeat small unmanned aircraft systems. U.S. Northern Command is working side-by-side with the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection within narrowly defined authorities to provide unique military capabilities to protect the territorial integrity of the U.S. southern border.”
The laser has already been used to take out at least 11 cartel drones in the Rio grande valley over the last month.

Activated under USNORTHCOM’s Defense Support of Civil Authorities mission and overseen by @USArmyWHC, Soldiers from 1-23 INF worked alongside civilian crews to cut 14 miles of firebreaks and protect communities across Washington.
Ten Soldiers from the 7th Infantry Division were recently honored for their incredible efforts supporting wildland firefighting operations in the Pacific Northwest. Working alongside civilian crews, they protected homes and communities, showcasing their dedication to service.
ALT Thirteen male soldiers in camouflage stand in a line. One in the center holds an axe. Behind them are two wooden 'Fallen Heroes' plaques, listing names from 'OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM' and 'OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM,' flanking a framed Medal of Honor. An American flag is visible left.
ALT A smiling young wildland firefighter with a dirt-smudged face wears a yellow hard hat with goggles and a dirty yellow work shirt with blue backpack straps. The background is blurred green and brown foliage.
ALT Two firefighters, one Black and one white, in yellow shirts, red chaps, and yellow hard hats, walk through a burned forest with chainsaws over their shoulders. The charred ground and hazy sky frame a mix of green and burnt trees. 'STIHL' on saw, 'NFES' on chaps.
ALT Firefighters battle a wildfire in a burnt forest. One sprays water from a hose, while another kneels, holding a 'STIHL' chainsaw next to a tree stump. A third firefighter stands by. Smoke fills the hazy background of charred trees and dry brush.

Today marks the 24th birthday of U.S. Northern Command!
Activated on October 1, 2002, in the aftermath of September 11, USNORTHCOM was established to defend the homeland and coordinate Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA).
From deterring strategic threats across our air and maritime approaches to deploying surge capabilities alongside federal partners during hurricanes, wildfires, and national crises, our joint force remains trained, postured, and ready.
Thank you to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Guardians, Coast Guardsmen, civilian teammates, and international allies who keep our nation safe every single day.
We Have the Watch.

Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force David R. Wolfe visited the headquarters of NORAD and USNORTHCOM at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, to engage with the joint force and get a hands-on understanding of operational readiness across our homeland defense missions.
During the visit, Wolfe met with Command Senior Enlisted Leader CMSgt John Storms and directorate senior enlisted leaders to review aerospace warning, missile defense, and Arctic security priorities. Emphasizing that North America is no longer an uncontested sanctuary, CMSAF Wolfe underscored the decisive value of technical proficiency, discipline, and strong noncommissioned officer leadership.
While on site, Wolfe also recognized two outstanding command performers for sustained operational excellence:
-MSgt Adam Hall (Directorate of Manpower and Personnel)
