U.S. Soldiers assigned to the 1st Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, utilize a CH-47 Chinook helicopter to drop off and transfer a Ground Based Operational Surveillance System (Expeditionary)(G-BOSS(E)) to U.S. Soldiers assigned to the 759th Military Police Battalion in Wellton, Ariz., on June 9, 2025. Sling load capabilities allow for equipment up to 25,000lbs to be transported by helicopter to remote areas of the border that would be difficult or impossible to travel to. 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.
