    Joint Task Force – Southern Border personnel use the Army Multipurpose High Energy Laser system to engage and defeat a hostile UAS, determined to be such based on its use in direct support of activities posing a physical threat to U.S. military personnel and CBP partners, August 25, 2026. Approximately 8,000 service members are currently deployed under JTF-SB to protect U.S. territorial integrity by boosting awareness, accelerating response, and supporting federal law-enforcement partners.
