The US Army is on the border: Chaos brewing?
Members of all branches of the United States military, along with civilian immigration authorities, are using command posts and vehicles at the US-Mexico border, in accordance with the emergency decision of US President Donald Trump, AP reports.
Maj. Gen. Scott Neumann, who commands 7,600 troops and a variety of helicopters and drones, said the military was freed from routine tasks to help arrest immigrants, protect newly declared militarized areas and break up smuggling cartels.
In some cases, those deployed are immigrants themselves, the agency said.
Trump approved funding for an additional 3,000 Border Patrol agents, offering $10,000 in bonuses.
The military mission is being coordinated from a new command center located at a remote military intelligence training base in the southern Huachuca Mountains of Arizona.
There is a joint activity hall converted into a war room with battalion commanders and staff, who use digital maps to locate military camps and movements along the nearly 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometer) border.
