Fort Drum

Mexico continues to hide behind the claims of national sovereignty, and constantly demands evidence of wrongdoing when the targets are polit- politicians tied to the country's ruling party.

To strengthen a regional coalition, 19 countries, the US Army reportedly sent 600 soldiers to the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, New York, in New York.

Times reported, sorry.

New York, Fort Drum, New York and New York Times is reporting, I got that out right, citing anonymous sources while the US government has not confirmed that the deployment, the reported movement matches in growing presence in the US troops in Latin America, aimed at bolstering the shield of Americans initiative aimed at fighting terrorist drug cartels.

As Breitbart Texas reported, military forces have al- already taken part in raids.

US troops worked alongside Ecuadorian forces in September to take down a cell of cartel in Jalisco, a new generation of members from Mexico called the CGMG, that's really wild, CJNG, who will be operating in the country.

I'm like, "What the heck is this?" Hundreds of US troops are being sent to Latin America, and I'm like, "Wow, really? What the heck?" So here's the story.

New York Times reported on October 14th that the Army is sending hundreds of soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, New York, to Latin America.

Breitbart's version says that troops are expected to train local forces and eventually carry out raids on their own in operations targeting drug cartels in support of a regional coalition of 19 countries it calls The Shield of America, which began with 13 countries.

You know, so I remember when they announced this, and I've told you Trump is dead serious about the drug cartels because guess what? You know, when, when, um, Maduro was in Venezuela, he gave Black Lives Matter $25 million to help screw up our country.

That's a pretty big step, right? That's a pretty big step for us to get our US military that involved with all these governments that, by the way, because we stopped US aid from funding the commie efforts in South America, most of these countries have turned to a more democratic government.

But the US Embassy in Panama disputed this, uh, uh, and pushed back on Wednesday.

Uh, as reported by the Rio Times, summarizing statements printed in Panama's, uh, newspapers, the embassy called the report of 600 troops categorically false and said 120 soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division are taking a two-week jungle course in Panama that ends October 25th, after which they return to Fort Drum.

The embassy said the training center has been running for more than a year at Panama's invitation, that there is nothing new, and that the other US troops will join regional drills, including exercises in Peru.

They're pretty much done.

So the 10th Mountain Division is a U.S. Army light fight infantry division based primarily at Fort Drum, New York.

The origins, they were formed during World War II for mountain and winter warfare.

It fought German forces in Italy's mountains in 1945.

We've confirmed it.

Personnel from the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, New York, have begun deploying to a training facility in Panama.

US official telling Fox those troops are forward-staging at SOUTHCOM, Southern Command, to go wherever SOUTHCOM wants to take the fight to drug traffickers in the region.

[news outro music] Nuke, I am with you.

Do you believe that-- What, well, what do you think needs to be done to change that, uh, when you're in the House of Representatives?

Well, first of all, I certainly would like to be in the House Ag Committee and Armed Services because we have Fort Drum in the district.

I am really proud of the support that we have received from the Ag community.

Texas Farm Bureau has hosted us for fundraisers, and we have another virtual one coming up.

I don't know.

And then Channel 7 had a story about Fort Drum soldiers deploying to Central America for drug, uh, interdiction, and also the creation of a new Western Hemisphere command based in Miami that'll have some Fort Drum...

Can you imagine that? You get sent to Fort Drum, and all of a sudden you're going to Miami.

Holy cow.

Talk about hitting the lottery.

Uh, Trump isn't fooling around.

A 600-troop battalion stationed at Fort Drum, New York, has begun deploying to Latin America.

This battalion from the 10th Mountain Division is deploying as part of the Pentagon's increased efforts to combat drug trafficking in the We- Western Hemisphere.

The New York Times reported, the troops will begin with training at a new jungle warfare facility in Panama, and then eventually train partner forces in Colombia and Honduras.
