"Autonomous systems provide so much capability..."
#SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan highlights the importance of maximizing autonomy across the maritime and air domains to enhance all-domain awareness. In collaboration with members of the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C) and regional allies, the SOUTHCOM Autonomous Warfare Command (SAWC) is embracing cost-effective, autonomous, and unmanned systems to disrupt and degrade narco-terrorist and cartel networks.
By applying total systemic friction through SAWC, we are supporting regional stability in new and effective ways. The Western Hemisphere will no longer be a permissive environment for malign actors or illicit activities.

"Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere continues executing precise, lethal operations against the cartels. We will hunt, disrupt, and defeat these narco-terrorist networks. SOUTHCOM is resolved to neutralizing cartel terror and violence throughout the region and into the U.S. homeland," - #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan
On August 25, under Gen. Donovan’s direction, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere executed a lethal kinetic strike on a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean. Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking. The operation killed four narco-terrorists. @DeptofWar
Lethality in action. Ready for any threat.
Watch live fire exercises onboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Gridley (DDG 101) while underway in the Caribbean Sea.
U.S. military forces are deployed to the #SOUTHCOM area of responsibility in support of Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere, @DeptofWar-directed operations, and the President’s priorities to disrupt illicit drug trafficking, deter malign actors and protect the homeland through continuous presence.

American forces aboard USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) remain vigilant and ready both day and night during enforcement of the U.S. blockade against Iran. As of Aug. 24, CENTCOM forces have redirected 71 commercial vessels, disabled 3 and boarded 2 to ensure compliance. More than 40 vessels supporting humanitarian aid have been allowed to pass.

Precision, multilateral coordination, and mission readiness:
Watch U.S. Marines join forces with Mexican and Ecuadorian Marines, alongside Panama's Aeronaval Service (SENAN), to conduct a simulated raid Aug. 12 during exercise #PANAMAX2026 in Panama. Stronger partnerships lead to a safer region.

Aviation has evolved across generations. Our drive to break new ground through innovative technologies has grown just as strong.
Different decades.
Different technologies.
Same mission.
@FeuxdeForet_FR Et quand les terroristes islamistes qui incendient les forêts seront-ils enfin détectés et arrêtés, tandis que le gouvernement et les médias traditionnels nient les faits, préférant blâmer les agriculteurs et la population civile ?
U.S. Southern Command is changing the game.
Whether by air, land, or sea, U.S. forces are taking the fight to the enemy. Alongside our Americas Counter Cartel Coalition partners, we are applying total systemic friction on narco-terrorist networks that spread terror and instability across the region.
U.S. military forces are deployed to the #SOUTHCOM area of responsibility in support of Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere, @DeptofWar-directed operations, and the President’s priorities to disrupt illicit drug trafficking, deter malign actors and protect the homeland through continuous presence.

La surveillance de tous est indispensables pour détecter à temps toute imprudence ou mouvement suspect. Un alerte au numéro d'urgence 18 ou 112 permet d'activer les points de contrôle avant qu'il ne soit trop tard.
