    The image shows a border fence or barrier constructed from dark metal corrugated panels and steel posts, extending diagonally into the distance across an arid desert landscape. The fence appears to be a vehicle barrier style commonly used along desert border regions, with rusty brown metal sections angled in an X-pattern configuration. The surrounding terrain is dry and sandy with sparse desert vegetation, sandy dunes, and low hills visible in the background under a clear blue sky.

    A long row of Normandy-style vehicle barrier lies south of a U.S. Border Patrol surveillance road 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, USBP 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.
