Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the US Northern Command has sought to allay fears about homeland defense though the release of images of troops in action, according to a report.
The command — which is managing the Department of Defense’s response to the crisis while keeping the US safe from enemy attacks – ordered public affairs units to release the photos “to reassure the American public they don’t have to worry about homeland defense,†The Washington Times reports.
“Showing the U.S. and Canada are fully capable of providing homeland defense for their countries, despite COVID-19, serves to help deter anyone who would seek to take advantage of the situation,†according to the April 8 order from the command and the North American Aerospace Defense, or NORAD.
