Death, drugs and a disbanded unit: How the Guard’s Mexico border mission fell apart

Discipline, standards, and leadership did not deploy with these individuals. Leadership on the ground has failed miserably. Senior leadership at the state and NG level HQ have failed in the equipment arena and ensuring this was a mission coordinated by NGB level staff.

Our Service members are a microcosm of society, we have known that since our inception. You cannot put troops i. Isolated areas without leadership, guidance and orders.

The effort here was born if the right idea, the execution lacks severely. Let there be no mistake, this is a failure of leadership.

This really isn't a good fit for the Guard. Not enough good leadership and resources went with them

It sounds like our guards have turn the place into party central. Sheesh.
