Turquoise Valley Golf Course.After a confidential meeting between Ft. Huachuca Acting Commander Brig. Gen. John Custer and Senior Border Patrol Agents from the Naco BP Station, seven US Army officers, ten US Border Patrol Agents and two men dressed in civilian clothes had a celebratory luncheon in Coyote's with congratulations and attaboys, with at least one Border Patrol Agent taking pictures of the luncheon.
At approximately 2:20 PM a small convoy of Army trucks, with trailers were moving east on Hwy. 92 towards Naco. It is unknown if there is a connection between Gen. Custer's request for a confidential border tour conducted by the USBP.
It is known that officials at Ft. Huachuca had complained of illegal aliens crossing the federal installation recently, and citizens and ranchers along the southern border have been requesting the Army to assist in patrolling our southern border.
