Richard Dayoub from Thunderbird Management welcomes Major General Randall V. Simmons and former Command Sergeant Major Kristopher Dyer to the studio to talk about the mission and vision of the NTF-N, their partnership with other law enforcement agencies and the actions they take within the community to help others along with Veterans.
Created in 1989, Joint Task Force North (JTF-N) was initially established as Joint Task Force – Six (JTF-6). In response to President George H.W. Bush's renewed counterdrug efforts, Army Gen. Colin Powell, then commanding general of U.S. Army’s Forces Command, issued an order Nov. 13, 1989 establishing JTF-6 on Fort Bliss, Texas. From its inception as JTF-6 to its evolution as JTF-N, the command has supported more than 6,000 missions in direct support of the nation’s local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and counterdrug task forces.
