Air Force crew members and security forces on deportation flights are not wearing their name tape or unit patches, contributing to a lack of transparency as the service obscures details of its involvement in the border mission from the public.
The Air Force is the only one of the military branches involved in President Donald Trump's mandated border mission to not disclose publicly the number of service members or what units they're coming from, citing safety and security concerns, an Air Force spokesperson told Military.com.

I think it is a good move on the Air Force's part. Retaliation against service members is a legitimate concern!

I think that's the right answer here...no need for criminals to have key identification on our troops.

They are deporting some dangerous people who have connections with a lot of money. I would say this is standard for OPSEC. We sanitized our flight suits all the time when operational. Why should this make a difference? I mean its pretty clear who they have flying C-17's. No other service flys them.
