A Stryker armored vehicle, assigned to Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 41st Infantry Regiment, moves to its position near the southern border to monitor illegal activity near Roma, Texas, June 12, 2025. The company began conducting operations in Rio Grande City to help curb illegal crossings where U.S. Border Patrol reported an influx of illegal activity. Under the direction of U.S. Northern Command, Joint Task Force–Southern Border aligns efforts to seal the southern border and repel illegal activity and is responsible for full-scale, agile, and all-domain operations, which will allow for more effective and efficient DoD operations.
