U.S. Army Soldiers with the 680th Engineer Company, 130th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, assigned to Joint Task Force-Southern Border (JTF-SB) in support of Operation Ardent Vanguard, receive training with the Gator Tail boat in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, Sept. 15, 2026. The Gator Tail allows Soldiers to maneuver in shallow water, enhancing security measures to deter suspected illegal crossing of the U.S. southern border.
