24 OCT 25 SITREP

1. Alameda Coast Guard Island Attack and Rising Domestic Extremist Violence

• A violent assault took place at Coast Guard Island in Alameda, California when a U-Haul truck was used in an attempted ramming attack against the base gate. The driver ignored repeated orders to stop and accelerated toward law enforcement personnel.
• Federal security officers and Coast Guard personnel opened fire after the vehicle made multiple aggressive movements toward the checkpoint. Their immediate response prevented what investigators believe could have been a mass casualty event.
• The attack is being attributed to Antifa aligned extremists who attempted to kill or seriously injure federal agents. Commentators described the assault as a deliberate test for future operations that may include vehicle based explosives similar to the Oklahoma City bombing.
• Analysts are warning that the threat environment is escalating as politically motivated actors grow increasingly willing to target uniformed personnel, federal facilities, and public officials in acts of domestic terrorism.

2. Trump Administration Caribbean Strike and USS Ford Deployment Toward Venezuela

• The Department of War led by Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed a lethal strike in international waters near the Caribbean that eliminated six narco terrorists tied to major cartels. The operation marked the tenth strike in the administration’s ongoing military campaign against transnational trafficking organizations.
• The USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group has been ordered south of the Gulf of America to expand Southern Command’s reach and quadruple its fixed wing and drone capabilities across the Caribbean.
• Former Defense Department official Dan Caldwell stated that the deployment significantly enhances suppression of enemy air defense, surveillance, and intelligence missions against Venezuelan and cartel linked positions. He highlighted that Venezuela operates modern Russian built air defense systems capable of challenging any U.S. air activity.
• Officials cautioned that any land based operation inside Venezuela could provoke retaliation by the Maduro regime or its allies. The possibility of escalation includes attacks on American military assets or even retaliatory measures targeting the U.S. homeland.

3. Grace Riley’s Restoring America Initiative and the Conservative Cultural Counteroffensive

• Grace Riley, a Turning Point USA alumna, announced the creation of her program Restoring America under the Restoration of America organization. The show focuses on Christian conservative values, moral renewal, and reasserting the nation’s founding ideals.
• Riley described her mission as countering the ongoing cultural transformation led by progressive movements and reaffirming the primacy of faith, family, and freedom in American life.
• She warned that the political left has normalized dehumanization and political violence, noting public celebrations over conservative deaths as evidence of a moral collapse that threatens the national conscience.
• The new movement seeks to inspire courage among young Americans, promote truth in civic discourse, and reignite patriotism through open discussion of history, moral conviction, and the spiritual foundations of the country.

FINAL WORD

The United States stands at a decisive moment defined by both internal disorder and external confrontation. Violent extremism at home and military conflict abroad reveal a nation under immense strain. The path forward will require moral strength, strategic focus, and unwavering commitment to the enduring values that built and preserved the Republic.
