A U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter with the Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, assigned to Joint Task Force-Southern Border, hovers over a telecommunication network system during a sling load mission as part of Operation Muleskinner Trailblazer III in Big Bend, Texas, June 30, 2026. The operation assisted the U.S. Border Patrol in replacing damaged telecommunications equipment with a new transmission extender, enhancing joint-agency communication capabilities across the Big Bend sector's austere environments. 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.
