Key Developments

• USS Stockdale Deployment to USNORTHCOM
  The USS Stockdale (DDG 106) departed Naval Base San Diego on April 11, 2025, to support USNORTHCOM’s southern border operations, according to U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC). Replacing USS Spruance (DDG 111), Stockdale integrates with a U.S. Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment (LEDET) to counter illegal activities, such as drug smuggling and human trafficking, while supporting humanitarian efforts. This deployment follows its prior operations in the 5th Fleet, where it repelled Houthi attacks in the Bab el-Mandeb strait from February to March 2025, defeating a one-way attack unmanned aerial ship missile without damage.

• NORAD Tracking Russian Aircraft in Alaskan ADIZ
  On April 14, 2025, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected and tracked Russian military aircraft in the Alaskan ADIZ, as confirmed in a statement by NORAD. The aircraft remained in international airspace, not entering U.S. or Canadian sovereign territory, and NORAD assessed the activity as routine and non-threatening. This event underscores ongoing Arctic vigilance, supported by NORAD’s layered defense network of satellites, radars, and fighter aircraft.

• African Lion 25 Exercise
  African Lion 25, the largest U.S.-led military exercise in Africa, commenced on April 14, 2025, in Tunisia, with activities planned through May across Ghana, Senegal, and Morocco, involving over 10,000 troops from more than 40 nations, including seven NATO allies.
