The midterm elections are over now. President Trump has largely stopped tweeting about the caravan of #migrants trudging north through Mexico. These troops are still deployed in America, still out of place. On short notice, they flew from their bases to the border and built tent cities from nothing in the middle of nowhere. They established running water, electricity, working toilets. And they’re prepared to stay for weeks, patiently waiting, as the caravan inches closer and their own families celebrate #Thanksgiving, and possibly #Christmas, back home without them. The Nogales detachment is part of a 1,500-troop deployment in Arizona. Most of them are stationed 75 miles from Nogales at Davis-­Monthan Air Force Base, where they’ve constructed a 77-sq.-acre outpost called Sunglow City. That base, if you squint hard enough, is indistinguishable from ones like it in Iraq or Afghanistan. The Army spread 1,700 tons of gravel over an area that features 140 tents, 150 portable toilets, a 20-bed hospital, a gym, laundry service and eight trailers packed with 15 hot showers each. Soldiers can watch TV while they wait their turn. Every day, the troops are reminded they’re deployed in their own homeland. Restaurants and bars just outside the base gates are off-limits ­because the #soldiers are considered to be on a deployment. Some younger ones have been overheard complaining they are prohibited from going off base to eat at a nearby @chilis. The Army plans to serve a Thanksgiving dinner—with turkey and trimmings provided by contract caterers—on the base. Soldiers will phone home or Skype with their loved ones. Some are single parents; their children will mark the holiday back home with temporary guardians. Those who have served in combat operations overseas know any comparison to the ongoing wars is laughable. “This isn’t a deployment,” says Staff Sergeant Tamara Bonner, 38, of Fayetteville, N.C., who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. “We’re carrying out a mission, but this isn’t a deployment.” Read more, and see more pictures, on TIME.com.
