Between 9:15 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. UTC on Dec. 28, 2025, an X post by @Arr3ch0 quoted @FaytuksNetwork asking, "It's not all about shows of force, is it?" in reference to U.S. military presence at Rafael Hernández Airport here, identified earlier as Special Operations headquarters. The quoted post at https://x.com/Arr3ch0/status/2005388351306887186 follows @SA_Defensa's earlier X post between 7:46 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. UTC featuring an aerial photo of the airport marked as a U.S. location pin and stating its role in the Caribbean buildup. Separately, an X post by @CoronetEast at https://x.com/CoronetEast/status/2004998231508533266 detailed that on Christmas Day, RCH047 flight departing McGuire AFB was scrubbed, with the aircraft returning after breaking into callsigns RCH047, RCH083, and RCH087, according to a photo by Wayne Bass on airhistory.net. This occurs amid U.S. Southern Command statements earlier Dec. 28 affirming forces taking precise action against Caribbean terrorist networks under Operation Southern Spear, as posted at 7:45 p.m. UTC.
