A senior noncommissioned officer based out of Fort Liberty, North Carolina, faces numerous charges tied to a yearslong scheme to smuggle methamphetamine across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Military prosecutors say Sgt. Maj. Jorge E. Garcia, the career counselor for U.S. Army Forces Command, or FORSCOM, made numerous unauthorized trips abroad between 2021 and 2022, smuggled meth, lied to his unit about his whereabouts, engaged in fraudulent charges on his government travel card at a nightclub near the Pentagon, and coordinated the drug activity with gangs online.
It's the latest in a string of drug-related criminal activity from soldiers at Fort Liberty, the base previously known as Fort Bragg, and the highest-profile installation in the Army -- serving as the home of the 82nd Airborne Division and several of the service's elite special operations units.

What is this “Fort Liberty”?
I know of a Fort Bragg but not a one by the other name!/sarc
“Lol exactly! Lot of stuff went down TDY”
Yeah, my TDY to Somalia in ‘93 was a big LOL for sure!
Fkn Pogues.
I still call it Ft Bragg. And it’s still the Redskins to me. Spit.
WTF is Ft. Liberty? Anywhere near Ft. Bragg? /s
Don’t worry. They’ll soon align name and character with the amended name Fort Liberal.
So first we had ‘X, formally known as Twitter.”
And now we have ‘Ft. Liberty, formally known as Ft. Bragg.”
Doesn’t do much good to change the name of something if every article just repeats the old name.
"In 2011 Pope AFB was inactivated and was renamed Pope Field again, transferred to Fort Bragg, now housing and hosting the 43rd Airlift Group, once again bringing Bragg back to its airborne roots."
There is no "Pope AFB" anymore. It was re-absorbed into Bragg as Pope Field. If they had to change the name from Bragg, then use "Pope".
Welcome to the Stonewall inn the best military base facedown
Don't bet on it. The guy who abandoned his position in a war zone didn't even receive a dishonorable discharge and I think was given little to no punishment.
“ Apparently meth and strippers are reserved for the senior commissioned officers.“…And congressmen, senators, agency chiefs.
Is there a named “Hunter defense”?
Well, it has been 45 years or so since I was there but thanks for the clarification.

Mis-use of a government credit card: the third rail of TDY travel. He’s well and truly hosed... Deservedly so.
