An MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter, assigned to the “Raptors” of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 71, conducts flight operations with the crew of the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance (DDG 111). Sailors aboard Spruance then conduct a helicopter in-flight refueling drill with the "Raptors," while underway in the Pacific Ocean, March 24, 2025. U.S. Navy assets are employed under U.S. Northern Command’s maritime homeland defense authorities with a U.S. Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment embarked to enable maritime interdiction missions to prevent the flow of illegal drugs and other illegal activity. U.S. Northern Command is working together with the Department of Homeland Security to augment U.S. Customs and Border Protection along the Southern border with additional military forces.
