Background Briefing on DOD Actions Responding to President Trump’s Executive Order on Securing our Border

Excerpt (Senior Military Official):  “Yesterday, the acting secretary of defense authorized us to deploy about 1,500 service members to support and work together with Customs and Border Protection down in San Diego and El Paso. That includes 1,000 Army personnel, including a battalion headquarters; 500 Marines, these had been operating or on call and ready, to operate in support of the California wildfires, but they were released from that mission and now are being reassigned for duty at the southwest border. These forces will work on the emplacement of physical barriers and other border missions.”
