    A U.S. Army soldier assigned to Joint Task Force-Southern Border (JTF-SB) patrols the Rio Grande aboard an M30 Bridge Erection Boat (BEB) in McAllen, Texas, Jan. 9, 2026. The M30 BEB is designed to provide high thrust, maneuverability, and propulsion to support floating bridge and rafting operations - even in silted, shallow, or mixed‑water environments. This makes it well‑suited for areas along the Rio Grande where terrain limits ground mobility. JTF-SB 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.
