    A military personnel member wearing a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hard hat and high-visibility safety vest is photographing or documenting metal barrier/fencing infrastructure in an arid, brush-covered area. The individual appears to be conducting an inspection or survey of what looks like a border fence or barrier structure. The setting appears to be a remote, desert-like environment with a dirt road visible in the background.

    A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employee inspects existing Normandy-style vehicle barrier near Columbus, New Mexico, April 11. USACE is supporting the Department of Homeland Security's request to build pedestrian fencing, construct and improve roads, and install lighting within the Yuma, Arizona, and El Paso, Texas, U.S. Border Patrol sectors following the Feb. 15 national emergency declaration on the southern border of the United States. The Department of Defense has the authority under Section 284 of Title 10, U.S. Code, to construct roads and fences and to install lighting to block drug-smuggling corridors across international boundaries of the United States in support of counter-narcotic activities of federal law enforcement agencies.
