Christopher Miller, right, with the 591st Engineer Company, 326th Engineer Battalion, 101st Airborne Division, assigned to Joint Task Force-Southern Border in support of Operation Ardent Vanguard, pose for a portrait after being recognized for their contributions to the security of the southern border at Fort Bliss, Texas, Aug. 25, 2026. Stewart and Miller took swift action to aid U.S. Customs and Border Protection in turning away over 20 potential border trespassers during their first week on the mission. 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.
