WHEELING — More than 100 members of the 305th Military Police Company of Wheeling were deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Saturday, following an official ceremony at Triadelphia Middle School’s gymnasium.
The 400-day deployment is in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, according to Sgt. First Class Reginald Pickett, with the 305th. He said the troops will be performing various military police duties during this period. Several speakers, including Lt. Col. Jonathan Bennett, commander of the 400th Military Police Battalion, spoke to the troops and their families about the hardships involved with a long deployment.

Interesting...maybe they’re being deployed in advance of some new ‘guest’ arrivals???
Getting ready for all the arrests.

Or maybe just a routine rotation.

The Trump administration has more than $200 million in new construction teed up for Guantánamo this year and next, combining new funding in the $1.3 trillion spending bill and existing projects.
The biggest ticket item for the U.S. Navy base in Cuba in the so-called Omnibus Spending law is $115 million for a new 848-troop barracks across the street from the McDonald’s and commissary to consolidate enlisted prison staff under one roof.
A dive into the documents that underpin the spending bill that President Donald Trump signed Friday, March 23 — declaring “Nobody read it. It’s only hours old. Some people don’t even know what’s in it” — indicates Congress did not fund a new $69 million prison for the 15 high-value detainees at Guantánamo, called Camp 7. It does however devote $66 million to a 150-prisoner jail, with campus, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state for troops and airmen accused of crimes.

400 days is about standard deployment. Sure was in 1966 when I was with the 55th in S.K.
I know. The machinery of war is moving along. This mid-term election was no more than the Battle of the Bulge for the Deep State and we all know how that turned out.
No those of us who are in the middle of what’s going on fully understand what is happening and why.
With all respect, if it is as important as you are hinting, why are you hinting at all?
With all due respect butt out!
