President Trump has taken decisive action to bolster border security by directing the United States Armed Forces to repel unlawful entries and seal the southern border. With this move, Trump emphasizes the importance of maintaining national sovereignty and safeguarding the integrity of American territory. So, don your camo caps and gear up, because the military is officially part of the border protection team now.
The president has assigned military troops with a clear objective: to ensure the safety and security of not just the armed forces themselves but also other federal personnel operating on military installations along the southern border. It seems that a combination of a border wall and good ol’ American muscle is the answer to the chaos down south. After all, nothing says “welcome to America” quite like the U.S. military standing guard.

Trump’s directives to the Department of Defense (DOD) are nothing short of ambitious. He has ordered the military to take action on federal lands, including the Roosevelt Reservation—though they’ll steer clear of Federal Indian Reservations, probably to avoid any unwelcome barbecues and powwows. The aim here is to facilitate construction of border barriers and set up advanced detection and monitoring equipment, which sounds suspiciously like a military-grade version of a neighborhood watch, but with more firepower and fewer bake sales.
As if this were a game of chess, the Secretary of the Interior has been instructed to allow the Secretary of Defense to commandeer parts of the Roosevelt Reservation that haven’t already been “borrowed” under this memorandum. This is all in line with legislation enacted long ago, which grants the Secretary of the Interior the power to make withdrawals and execute restrictions,thus turning public lands into military-use territories. It’s the kind of red tape that would make the DMV jealous, but for once, it’s aimed at keeping the nation safe instead of issuing parking tickets.
The military activities deemed appropriate will fall under the purview of the Secretary of Defense, who will have great latitude in determining what is necessary for protecting military installations. In other words, the armed forces will have unlimited authority, doing what they do best: securing the homeland, while following rules of engagement like the seasoned pros they are. This is not just about looking tough—it’s about getting the job done efficiently, with safety protocols that ensure the military can act decisively without facing a backlash from Washington bureaucrats.
As for timelines, Trump expects to see the initial phase of this operation underway within just 45 days. In classic Trump style, the Secretary of Defense is also empowered to expand activities wherever necessary, giving flexibility to respond to the ever-evolving situation at the border. This isn’t just a one-and-done operation; it’s more like a border security buffet, where the military can serve up extra helpings of vigilance as needed. With the military fully engaged, it’s clear that the president is prepared to make substantial strides toward securing America’s southern frontier.
