The new task force will be a joint effort between the U.S. and other regional partners.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that it has established its first-ever multi-domain, multinational attack drone task force. Task Force Falcon Strike will utilize unmanned one-way attack drones from above, below, and at sea, operated by military support staff members. The new task force follows CENTCOM’s creation of the military’s first dedicated one-way attack drone squadron in the Middle East, Task Force Scorpion Strike.
CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper stated, “Task Force Falcon Strike will expand on Scorpion Strike’s success given the tremendous innovation happening among our regional allies and partners. Integrating and deploying our new capabilities together will help us rapidly realize the new possibilities that are on the horizon.”
CENTCOM has also consulted with and invited regional partners to formally join Task Force Falcon Strike. The new task force is expected to be led by personnel from U.S. Special Operations Command Central.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Admiral Cooper to be prudent in his command of CENTCOM and oversight of the creation of Task Force Falcon Strike.
- For members of the new task force as they collaborate with allied partners on innovative drone deployment.
- For God’s protection over the men and women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
