U.S. Army Sgt. Jeremiah Perales, with the 759th Military Police Battalion, 89th Military Police Brigade, assigned to Joint Task Force-Southern Border, briefs a U.S. Border Patrol agent during a patrol in Yuma, Ariz., July 16, 2025, while Mexican Army and National Guard members, under the Mexican Secretariat of National Defense (Defensa), mirror the effort from their respective sovereign territory. These mirrored patrols have led to favorable results in reducing the illegal flow of people across the common border and drug trafficking. These efforts demonstrate the strong understanding and collaboration between both armed forces, aimed at ensuring security along the shared border for the benefit of the U.S. and Mexico. Joint Task Force-Southern Border executes full-scale, agile, and all-domain operations in support of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to protect the territorial integrity of the United States and achieve 100% operational control of the southern border.
