Forest Service regularly trains soldiers in wildland firefighting techniques to ensure readiness in the event @DeptofWar assistance is requested as part of the national response to wildfires or other emergencies.

Wildfire response starts long before a fire begins. In Boise, Idaho, @SecretaryBurgum and I met with the men and women on the front lines to discuss how we strengthen prevention, improve forest health, reduce hazardous fuels, strategically stage aviation assets, and ensure our firefighters have the resources they need. As part of that effort, USDA and DOI are accelerating and improving fire prevention techniques to make our forests safer and less susceptible to uncontrolled wildfires through mechanical thinning, prescribed fire, and active forest management. These proactive steps support the more than 30,000 federal firefighters, 400+ aircraft, and all our state and local partners working to protect communities across the country. Under @POTUS, @USDA, @Interior, and @forestservice are working together to keep communities safe, protect our firefighters, and put fires out quickly. God bless our wildland firefighters—and all those working behind the scenes to support them. 🇺🇸

July 2026 Construction Recap 🚧🔥📷 Moore Air Base Sterile Fly Production Facility 📍Edinburg, TX The future fly HQ is buzzing with progress - all so we can crank out a swarm of sterile flies to finally send New World screwworm packing. #BuildingAFlyFactory# 📷🪰🛠️

Thanks to @NEWSMAX and @SchmittNYC for showcasing the incredible work of @POTUS and @USDA to get folks from the sidelines into the workforce. And also how, together with the @WHFraudTF, we are working to end the fraud and abuse in all @USDA_FNA nutrition programs. Congress created food stamps for those truly in need. We aim to keep it that way.

USDA is grateful to welcome additional wildfire personnel from Australia and New Zealand who arrived this week to support suppression work across the West. This second contingent—up to 250 skilled fire management specialists—joins the teams deployed in late July and is already contributing to incidents on the ground. Our longstanding international agreements make this collaboration possible and strengthen both our response capacity and shared expertise.

Most animals fully recover from New World screwworm – but it requires early detection and prompt treatment. 🐈🐕🐎🐑🐐🐂 Help your animals by checking them frequently for signs of infestation and reporting anything suspicious. Our partners at @FDA continue to ensure veterinarians have access to preventive and treatment options for NWS, supporting rapid response in affected areas. Visit for more info on treatments and how to report.
