U.S. Soldiers assigned to 3rd Battalion, 501st Aviation Regiment, Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, conduct Fast Rope Insertion and Extraction System (FRIES) training with members of the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) at Fort Bliss, Texas, July 29, 2026. FRIES maximizes mission tempo by allowing multiple troops to be on ground from a hovering aircraft within seconds. 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.
