U.S. Border Patrol Agent Alberto Martinez, left, shakes hands to greet U.S. Marine Corps 2nd Lt. Kendall Payne, a platoon commander with Task Force Sapper, 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 Joint Task Force – Southern Border with the emplacement of physical obstacles along the southern border barrier to add additional security that will reduce illegal crossings. Under the direction of the 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.
