U.S. Northern Command

This Memorial Day, we honor the service and sacrifice of the brave Americans who gave their lives for this great nation. We will never forget their courage, their devotion, and the freedoms they fought to defend.

As part of the bilateral military relationship between Mexico and the United States, from May 11 to 13, 2026, 77 students from Mexico’s National Defense College participated in a study visit to the facilities of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado, U.S. The students engaged in discussions with U.S. Northern Command leaders focused on national defense functions, defense support to civilian authorities, security cooperation and logistics, as well as operations along the shared border. This academic activity enhances cooperation procedures that contribute to strengthening the capabilities of the Mexican and U.S. Armed Forces, under the guiding principles: reciprocity, shared and differentiated responsibility, mutual trust, and full respect for sovereign decisions and territories. #FriendsNeighborsPartners, #StrongerTogether, #BilateralRelationships, #NORTHCOM, #FriendlyCountries, #RelaciónBilateral, #PaísesAmigos, #AmigosVecinosSocios, #EjércitoMexicano, #FuerzaAéreaMX, @Defensamx1 @DeptofWar @StateDept

✅ Start of wildfire season ✅ MAFFS certification complete Department of War (DoW) personnel go through rigorous certification prior to participating in this aerial wildland fire mission. Modular Airborne Firefighting System (MAFFS) equipped C-130s and crewmembers along with partner agencies, will be fully postured to support wildfire response efforts quickly and effectively throughout the season, reinforcing a shared commitment to safeguarding communities across the U.S. The MAFFS program provides a surge capability during peak wildfire season, augmenting state, federal and civilian firefighting efforts when additional aerial support is needed. Annual recertification training ensures seamless coordination between military and civilian partners and maintains the high standards required for aerial firefighting operations. The MAFFS systems are the U.S. Forest Service’s portable fire-retardant delivery system. When requested by the National Interagency Fire Center (@NIFC_Fire) and approved by the Secretary of War, the DoW can provide unique wildland firefighting assets to the requesting agencies. The MAFFS program was created by Congress in the early 1970s, is a joint effort between the U.S. Forest Service and the DoW. Air Forces Northern(@FirstAirforce) Command, USNORTHCOM’s Air Component, is the DoW’s operational lead for the aerial wildland firefighting military efforts.
