Operation Rolling Thunder Kicked off Friday 02/17/06 @ 12:00 Noon:
The
Minuteman of I-10 spotted 3 IA's and reported them to The Border Patrol at mile marker 293 IA where apprehended, (Hooah!).
One of the most exciting things that happened this weekend was the introduction of the
ITT PVS-14 Gen 3 Night Vision Monocular that enabled us to patrol the area around the clock. This night-time observation caused the apprehension of 25 IA's. The IA's had no idea that a Minuteman was in the area, let alone behind them. Having the ability to patrol at night has created an entirely new and effective ball game!!!
As for myself and for the entire Minuteman Of One we will defend our border with honor and integrity, no matter the cost. Also, we had the opportunity to talk to the indigenous personal. It is imperitive we have an excellent rapport with all involved personal.
Further, we did an extensive recon mission of the AO and are planning for additional operations in the very near furture.
I have taken a personal oath never to stop, until our mission is complete and our country and borders are save from infiltration.
