    The small Navy base at San Felipe is mainly to control illegal fishing, they don’t have sufficient sailors or vessels to stop drug smugglers in the northern gulf and much less all of the waters south to Bahia de Los Angeles. The navy there have no impact at all in stopping crime on land in San Felipe. I didn’t know about the army base at San Felipe so I messaged my cousin who is a captain assigned to the base in Tijuana. He told me that San Felipe has a small garrison, but it’s not fully staffed. He also said that there is talk of may be moving more troops and patrol vehicles to the garrison there before 2023 and they would cooperate with national guard to make joint patrols. That would be a very good thing for San Felipe.
