Members of the Texas Army National Guard and Texas State Guard are conducting riverine operations along the Rio Grande, increasing their presence to help deter transnational criminal activity and strengthen security for Texas communities.
Riverine operations involve military combat, security and patrol activities conducted on inland waterways such as rivers, swamps and canals. These missions allow Guard members to operate in areas where traditional ground patrols may be limited.
Their continued service reflects the commitment of Texas Guardsmen to protect and support the people of our state.
