Part 5/15:
The deployment of military personnel, particularly the National Guard, to border regions has been a focal point. During recent operations, there appears to be a high level of cooperation between Border Patrol and National Guard units, with integrated command structures such as muster at stations. These arrangements facilitate coordinated efforts to secure crossing points, monitor activity, and execute operations.
The misconception that military personnel are operating in aggressive, combat-ready roles is confronted with clarification: most military units are executing observation and reporting tasks, not engaging in combat or high-tactical maneuvers. Their presence serves as an auxiliary force, supporting border security without escalating force levels unnecessarily.
