FORT CARSON — Several new Stryker combat vehicles from Fort Carson are on their way to the southern border. They were sent out from the Mountain Post Wednesday.
These vehicles will serve as part of NORTHCOM's operation to help with immigration enforcement.
Service members cannot directly enforce immigration law, but they are allowed to help U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents with the following:
- detect illegal crossings
- analyze intelligence
- conduct aerial reconnaissance
A recent order will allow CBP agents to be transported on these vehicles.

This southeast Colorado reservoir completely dried out, taking away one of the best recreation spots
All that’s left of the Two Buttes Reservoir is a scattering of lifeless buoys, a rusty lawn chair, empty beer cans, and a number of fishing lures that have fallen into the water over the years.
