United States Marines began their deployment to the southern border on Friday, January 24, as part of a 1,500-strong military force aimed at helping secure the border with Mexico under the new Trump administration. The move aims to bolster efforts to halt the flow of migrants attempting to cross the border illegally.
These forces will assist in detecting, monitoring, maintaining, and constructing physical barriers. The Marine Corps units dispatched for this mission hail from Camp Pendleton, California, including a detachment from the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, 1st Marine Division, and a detachment from the 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group.
