A Georgia State Patrol officer is harnessed to a Georgia Army National Guard LUH-72 Lakota while searching for marijuana near Polk County as part of the Governor’s Task Force/Drug Suppression (GTF). The GTF concluded six months of direct support to local communities throughout the state. This year the GTF eradicated over 15,000 plants, worth over $30 million, keeping these drugs and the illicit activity that goes with it off of Georgia’s streets. The GTF’s last mission support was to Polk County where they found eight plants within ten miles of their launch site. (Georgia Army National Guard Photo by Maj. Will Cox)
