U.S. Soldiers with the 62nd Engineer Battalion, 26th Engineer Brigade, assigned to Joint Task Force-Southern Border in support of Operation Ardent Vanguard, place concertina wire along the southern border barrier near Santa Teresa, New Mexico, Sept. 9, 2026. Sgt. Gabriela Lopez and Staff Sgt. Jarin Holland, both with the 326th Engineer Battalion, 101st Airborne Division, and 2nd Lt. Jonah Posada, 591st Combat Engineer Company-Improved, 62nd Engineer Battalion, 26th Engineer Brigade, discuss the barrier reinforcement operation, which installs additional obstacles to deter suspected illegal entry into the United States. U.S. Northern Command works alongside the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection within narrowly defined authorities to provide unique military capabilities to protect the territorial integrity of the U.S. southern border.
