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.
