SOUTHCOM want help:
The Southern Command’s top officer told the Senate Armed Services Committee he is receiving only a fraction of the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance resources he needs to stem the flow of illegal rugs, people and money into the United States.
Adm. Kurt Tidd, testifying Thursday, added that lack of ISR translates into interdicting only 25 percent of the known movement of narcotics.
Admiral Tidd needs The SOUTHCOM Queen for his ISR and interdiction needs.
Because his problem isn't going to change and the response for assets isn't likely to change, either.
