Tracking this week in military life, here's what's on the radar. From benefit updates to military history and news, we're covering what matters to service members, spouses, and veterans. Joint Base McGuire, Dix-Lakehurst, and Camp Atterbury will soon house detained immigrants. That's according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move, part of expanded immigration enforcement, has sparked debate over its impact on military readiness. Officials also say Fort Bliss could hold up to 5,000 ICE detainees as early as this month. Behind on your mortgage? President Trump just signed legislation to help stop unnecessary veteran foreclosures. Head to VeteranLife.com to see if you qualify. Air travel with your military family just got easier thanks to TSA's newest benefit, the Honor Lane. It's a dedicated security screening lane just for military members, veterans, spouses, and dependents. It's available now at airports like Atlanta, DFW, San Diego, and D.C., with more on the way. And farewell to a legend. The AV-8B Harrier II is being retired. By 2027, it'll be replaced by the F-35 Lightning II, marking the end of an era and the start of a stealthier future. That's your briefing. Follow my base guide and VeteranLife so you never miss what's on the radar.
