Members of the 3rd Battalion, 29th Field Artillery Regiment from Fort Carson, Colo., present Gen. Guillermo Galvan Galvan, Secretary of National Defense, Mexico, with an engraved artillery casing after honors were rendered to the general outside the Eberhart-Findley Building, Oct. 19. The shell, along with a Mexican national flag flown in front of the NORAD and USNORTHCOM headquarters building, caps the end of Galvan’s last visit to the commands as Secretary of National Defense. His final two-day visit to Colorado Springs included a Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System demonstration by the 302nd Airlift Wing and visits with local community organizations. Galvan also took the opportunity to address a gathering of members of NORAD and USNORTHCOM where he discussed the vital relationship between the Mexican military and USNORTHCOM. Galvan is credited with enhancing the partnership between SEDENA and USNORTHCOM which is essential in the fight against transnational criminal organizations. This partnership in the counter-TCO mission is one of USNORTHCOM’s top priorities, and the command is committed to working together with the Mexican military against TCOs. Galvan steps down as Secretary of National Defense, Dec. 1.
