    A convoy of white pickup trucks travels along an unpaved dirt road running parallel to a tall metal border fence in an arid desert landscape. The vehicles are moving in a single-file formation up a hillside, raising dust as they proceed. The scene depicts what appears to be a border patrol or security operation along a fortified boundary fence.

    A caravan of vehicles with a team of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employees and contractors drive along a long row of 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.
