Oklahoma Army National Guard Soldiers use a skid-steer to move marijuana plants during a multi-agency operation led by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics at an illegal grow location in the southern region of Oklahoma, Feb. 22, 2022. At the request of Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, through the Oklahoma Office of Emergency Management, Governor Stitt authorized the Oklahoma National Guard to activate Guard members to provide manpower and logistics support and to provide expertise in the identification of hazardous materials associated with the seizure of a number of illegal or unregistered marijuana grow operations. The OKNG assisted with the eradication and clean-up of the nine illegal grow sites Guardsmen assisted in the removal of approximately 100,000 plants and 2,000 pounds of processed marijuana. The estimated value of the seizure is $500 million. OKNG answered the call to support the state with approximately 150 Guard members, 14 dump trucks, UH-60 Black Hawk and UH-72 Lakota helicopters, and numerous other heavy machinery to support the operation.
