not gonna lie, that thing looks similar to a bearcat in design

plus gun
With a fleet of motion tracking and target painting drones in the sky, and working your way systematically through the country, you could finish up Afghanistan pretty quickly.
"Three helicopter companies, with night-vision capabilities, to help Border Patrol officers to reach remote locations quickly" @Fitzydog inb4 apaches
oh shit lol
anyone now where to find the exact companies that are being moved?
someone donate that caravan some tanks, lets get real
theory says if they use tanks, even just to try to force through the physical barriers
the national guard can defend itself
and at that point, who *knows* who's a noncombatant and who's not?

such a fluid situation
"will include three engineering battalions with "heavy equipment""
hmm
Personally I would just equip a few m60’s with flamethrowers
m728s anyone?
tbh canister on an abrams would probably work fine
hydras with flechette warheads maybe?
I think we'd want more troops, but maybe
*ON TIME AND UNDER BUDGET!*

I suppose any time would be record time, seeing how we've never had one before
We still haven't finished some of the segments Bush ordered reinforced back in 2006
something something thanks obama
Hey we should do that. Send our horizontal and verticle engineers from all branches. Good training. And we save on labor costs.
horizontal and vertical engineers?
are our engineers one-dimensional now
Horizontal (earth movers)/verticle (upward building)
Its how the army seperates them
@Fitzydog imagine making those filled with an expanding/hardening foam
ah, I see
And then you had combat engineers as the 3rd pillar
All other variatiin of construction fell under those 3
IE plumbers and electricians fall under vertical
That's Army, while AF just has them separated by tradeskill
Well they have their own tradeskills but when forming "units" they tend to sperate by the 3
Well, I take that back. We had infrastructure/heavy
