U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Kendall Payne, left, a platoon commander with Task Force Sapper, guides two Marines emplacing barbed wire during an obstacle emplacement near San Ysidro, Calif., June 17, 2025. Task Force Sapper is composed of 500 Marines and sailors from I Marine Expeditionary Force who have been tasked with engineering support to U.S. Northern Command with the emplacement of physical barriers along the southern border barrier to add additional security that will curtail illegal border crossings. Under the direction of the U.S. NORTHCOM, 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.
