Committing a Brigade Combat Team to the War on Drugs

Abstract

Ulegal drugs have plagued the United States for hundreds of years and have caused a serious epidemic amongst our population. This epidemic originated primarily from the illegal drugs that continue to be smuggled into our country through numerous ports of entry, includingland, air, and sea. While there are numerous agencies dedicated to interdict these drugs, the smugglers continue to devise new methods that sometimes evade detection. Their innovative methods are not only expected, but are often anticipated by these professional agencies.Although illegal drug smugglers are occasionally victorious, these law enforcement agencies are highly committed and winning the war on drugs.
