    DoD Southern Border 2025

    U.S Army Sgt. Douglas Epps, attached to the 264th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, assigned to Joint Task Force-Southern Border, provides a demonstration to Soldiers during class on sling load operations at Fort Bliss, Texas, April 29, 2025. Sling load training allows for equipment up to 25,000 lbs. to be transported by helicopter to remote areas that would be difficult or impossible to travel over otherwise. Under the direction of U.S. Northern Command, Joint Task Force–Southern Border aligns efforts to seal the southern border and repel illegal activity and is responsible for full-scale, agile, and all-domain operations, which will allow for more effective and efficient DoD operations.
