Drug trafficking networks often cross state and international borders, and analysts with the National Guard Counterdrug program are helping law enforcement officials identify trafficking routes and connect investigations across jurisdictions to disrupt and stop the flow of illicit drugs.

Members of the Georgia National Guard Counterdrug Task Force assisted state and local law enforcement agencies in an investigation that resulted in the seizure of more than 13 kilograms (nearly 29 pounds) of fentanyl, cocaine and other drugs, along with 10 firearms, cash and other property.

The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy recognized National Guard counterdrug programs for support to 10 award-winning law enforcement investigations during the National Drug Control Awards Ceremony on April 2.

For the third consecutive year, counterdrug experts, National Guard leaders and congressional staff gathered on Capitol Hill to spotlight the unique value of the National Guard Counterdrug Program.
