U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Task Force Barrier employees
Summary
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Task Force Barrier employees hold a pre-construction meeting with contractors in El Centro, California, August 6. USACE is providing direction and oversight of Department of Defense-fund¬ed construction of border barrier projects from California to Texas. This is done in response to the president’s Feb. 15 national emergency declaration on the United States southern border. DoD has the authority under Section 284 of Title 10, U.S. Code, to construct roads and fences and to install lighting to block drug-smug¬gling corridors across international boundaries of the United States in support of counter-narcotics activities of federal law enforcement agencies. USACE’s execution of these projects is in support of an ongoing partnership with Customs and Border Protection since 2004.
