U.S. Army Spc. Cody Doran, with Task Force Iron Eagle, assigned to Joint Task Force-Southern Border in support of Operation Ardent Vanguard, assesses the southern border barrier from a U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter during Operation Muleskinner Trailblazer III in Big Bend Sector, Texas, June 30, 2026. Doran and other Chinook crew members assisted in sling-load operations to help the U.S. Border Patrol move a telecommunication network system designed to improve agent communication in 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.
