Facts and claims
- documented Asked by Sen. Tim Kaine about drone threats to U.S. bases, Gen. Gregory Guillot said the counter-UAS mission had dominated the first month of his 90-day assessment: "I was not prepared for the number of incursions that I see. I have gone into the events at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, and I am using that as the centerpiece of my 90-day assessment to see where NORAD and NORTHCOM can and should do more as this emerging capability outstrips the operational framework that we have to address it." — Gregory Guillot Source: doc-transcript-2024-03-14-sasc-northcom.pdf
