A service member from Joint Task Force Guantanamo picks up trash along a road atop John Paul Jones Hill as part of a base-wide Earth Day cleanup effort, April 21. The cleanup was just one of many Earth Day-related events held throughout the week to help eliminate loose trash and improve the overall cleanliness of Joint Task Force Guantanamo and U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay. On the right, the wind turbines help reduce fuel consumption on base by 650,000 gallons each year and produce approximately 10 percent of the naval station's energy. JTF Guantanamo conducts safe, humane, legal and transparent care and custody of detainees, including those convicted by military commission and those ordered released. The JTF conducts intelligence collection, analysis and dissemination for the protection of detainees and personnel working in JTF Guantanamo facilities and in support of the Global War on Terror. JTF Guantanamo provides support to the Office of Military Commissions, to law enforcement and to war crimes investigations. The JTF conducts planning for and, on order, responds to Caribbean mass migration operations.
