August 28, 2025 –
As of August 28, 2025, Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATF-S) has supported the disruption of 402.7 metric tons (MT) of cocaine, surpassing the previous record of 328.4 MT set on July 4, 2025, and preventing approximately 334 billion lethal doses from reaching American communities. This achievement shows how JIATF-S has grown into an effective, intelligence-driven maritime security force that protects the homeland through strong partnerships. Building on our role as the leading example of interagency and international cooperation, JIATF-S has used improved capabilities and international partnerships to focus on increasingly complex criminal organizations with greater accuracy. This record reflects our commitment to innovation and staying ahead of changing threats, establishing JIATF-S as a critical part of regional security while maintaining focus on the ongoing mission ahead.
This accomplishment is thanks to the dedication of this team of teams including U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Defense, U.S. Federal Agencies, and dedicated allies and partners! This achievement leverages the effectiveness of interagency collaboration. The $10 Bil+ loss inflicted on cartels, coupled with the removal of 334 Bil+ lethal doses, enhances community and national security.
