On May 19, the Space Force’s 45th Security Forces Squadron (45th SFS) had its first engagement in the unending, unwinnable, and astonishinglyunpopular conflict started by Richard Nixon with the recovery of two dozen packages of cocaine, estimated by the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office to be worth around $1.2 million, Business Insider reported.

The drugs were first discovered on the shoreline at nearby Cape Canaveral Space Force Station by a civilian wildlife manager with Delta 45 s civil engineering squadron.
