Closing this airspace with absolutely no rationale provided to the public is a pretty huge move. Its adjacent to Fort Bliss, which is a major power projection platform that is always on standby to send out forces of all types for broad geographic use.
It leaves one wondering what might happen in the coming days.
Invasion of Mexico? Seems well positioned for that, but its reach is significantly farther in the hypothetical
Invasion of Cuba? Seems more likely given recent events
Deployment of additional forces to the Middle East for potential conflict with Iran? Could also be possible
Lastly, Bliss is also the location of Camp East Montana, one of DHS/ICE’s concentration camps. Though Im not sure what benefit closing the public airspace would provide to their operations there
Overall, doing this suddenly and without any publicly provided rationale does not portend anything good. Thats for sure
