A U.S. Army CH-47F Chinook helicopter assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 227th Aviation Regiment, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, prepares to fly along the U.S.-Mexico border in the San Diego sector, Calif., March 18, 2026. The Chinook’s heavy-lift capability allows Joint Task Force-Southern Border to assist other units by transporting concertina wire and other equipment to locations along the border. U.S. Northern Command is working side-by-side with the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection within narrowly defined authorities to provide unique military capabilities to protect the territorial integrity of the U.S. southern border.
