USNORTHCOM and @JIATFCC stand with our @GobiernoMX and interagency partners in our shared fight to disrupt and dismantle cartels. @USAmbMex
International and interagency partnership in action. Echoing @USAmbMex, the apprehension of "El Señor de la A" in Chihuahua underscores sustained U.S.–Mexico intel sharing. Targeting cartel leaders & smuggling networks, transnational criminal orgs find no refuge across borders.

Defending the homeland means staying ahead of multi-domain threats. Gen. Gregory Guillot joined Sen. Deb Fischer and Gen. Michael Guetlein at AFA 2026 to discuss how initiatives like Golden Dome will build a resilient, integrated defense network.
From the seabed to space, defending the homeland requires a fully integrated approach. At #AFANational, Gen. Gregory M. Guillot explains how Golden Dome will connect existing capabilities through a unified command-and-control system, enabling operators to respond to threats faster and more effectively.

This week, @NORAD and USNORTHCOM hosted several newly confirmed general and flag officers attending National Defense University’s CAPSTONE program. As part of the five-week joint professional military education curriculum CAPSTONE Fellows engage directly with Combatant Commanders to examine the employment of joint forces. This visit focused on homeland defense, multi-domain integration, and the shared bi-national NORAD and USNORTHCOM missions dedicated to defending the United States and North America. @NDU_EDU

Air Forces Northern (@FirstAirForce) teamed up with Mexico's @DefensaMx for Exercise AMALGAM EAGLE 2026. Alongside partners like @FAA and @CBPAMO, our joint teams successfully tested live-fly air defense and search-and-rescue capabilities—sharpening our tactical edge, refining cross-border communication, and proving our seamless ability to defend our shared airspace.
En el marco de la Mesa Redonda de Cooperación Bilateral Militar (BMCR) entre México y E.U.A., del 28 de septiembre al 2 de octubre de 2026, integrantes de la Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional, del Componente Aéreo del Comando Norte y las Fuerzas Aéreas del Norte de los E.U.A., participaron en el ejercicio “Amalgam Eagle 2026”, en las fronteras de México y los E.U.A. Este ejercicio bilateral de defensa aérea con vuelos reales y de búsqueda y rescate, tuvo como propósito mejorar la interoperabilidad y procedimientos de intercambio de información y respuesta a través de escenarios simulados, en atención a vuelos no autorizados, para fortalecer la coordinación y cooperación entre ambos países, bajo los principios de reciprocidad, responsabilidad compartida y diferenciada, confianza mutua y respeto a las decisiones y territorios soberanos.
