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.

You mean meth and strippers aren’t authorized purchases on the government travel card? What’s the point of going TDY? < /sarc>
The UCMJ will not be kind to him.

What do the commies care? At least the post isn’t named after a Confederate anymore.
“Liberty”, how gay is that? Why didn’t they name it Ft Pope?
Lol exactly! Lot of stuff went down TDY
I thought the whole point of changing the name from Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty was to cure all the problems in the Army, I guess it didn’t work.
“Thank you for your service” Whorehay. You azho. A damn sergeant major my ass. You’re a POS from south of the border with the mother of all REMF Army jobs.
Do they still go by the UCMJ? In the old days a senior noncom would never, ever be involved, much less be the distributor of meth.
Fort Liberace.
A career FORSKIN punk.
Ever since tail-hook life hasn’t been the same.
“Do they still go by the UCMJ?”
Pretty sure they do. For a senior non comm to do this is just stupid. They’re going to put him in Leavenworth for a very long time.

He’ll just declare that he is trans and demand to be put in the women’s prison.
In my 31 years with the DoD I saw and heard about my share of travel card abuses. More than likely there’s a mandatory annual training course dedicated to travel card use.
But I never saw anything THIS egregious. SMH
Apparently meth and strippers are reserved for the senior commissioned officers.
What happened to making cash advances? You could get up to 400 a day. Yes they may question, but it’s better then the actual strip club charges.
This will not look good on his permanent record.
That was the first thing that stuck out at me.
I thought “Fort Liberty? Last time I recall a “Fort Liberty” was sometime during the Revolutionary War, if even then...what and where the hell is a ‘Fort Liberty’ “?
Ft Bragg already houses Pope AFB, so the name was already taken.
Where the h*ll is “Fort Liberty”? I’m assuming, since they’re talking about a base in North Carolina, that it’s actually Fort Bragg ...
