An overgrowth of bushes and weeds is what remains of Camp X-Ray of Joint Task Force Guantanamo on the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba on Aug. 31, 2021. This location was first used in Operation Sea Signal in 1994-95 and then as a temporary detention facility in 2002. The JTF-GTMO, reports to the U.S. Southern Command, and today oversees the detention facilities, which provide safe, humane, and legal care and custody of a detainee population in support of the global effort to prevent and counter global terrorism.
