https://dailycaller.com/One of the most famous divisions in the U.S. Army officially took over command of the Joint Task Force guarding the southern border on Friday.
The 101st Airborne, dubbed “Screaming Eagles,” officially took over command of the JTF Southern Border mission from the 10th Mountain Division in a ceremony Friday at the JTF Headquarters in Fort Huachuca, Arizona. The task force combines more than 10,000 service members from across the Armed Forces to protect the border, which has seen zero migrant releases in the last four months.
“This is a real world mission against a living, breathing threat,” Maj. Geoffrey Carmichael of the 10th Mountain Division told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “When you look at all of those things that we’re doing on the border, that the Joint Task Force does on the border, they’re building warfighter readiness.”
The 10th Mountain Division stationed three brigades, each typically comprised of roughly 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers, across the nine sectors of the border designated by Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Carmichael stressed that the value of the border mission stretches beyond merely curtailing illegal immigration, pointing out it also provides units with a proving ground for new technology and tactics.
