A task force of 500 U.S. Marines and sailors is working to construct new fortifications at Arizona’s southern border with Mexico, including adding barbed and concertina wire.

The new task force, called Task Force Forge, comprises personnel assigned to Combat Logistics Battalion 15, 1st Marine Logistics Group, I Marine Expeditionary Force.


The task force is currently at work within U.S. Border Patrol’s Yuma Sector in Arizona. This sector is monitored by Border Patrol agents tasked with securing 126 miles of the border from Arizona to California.

The force assumed its mission last month, taking over the efforts of the outgoing 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, 1st Marine Division, known as Task Force Sapper.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
