The federally-controlled mission is distinct from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2021\/12\/23\/wave-of-suicides-hits-texas-national-guards-border-mission\/\" target=\"_blank\">Operation Lone Star<\/a>, a massive mission to the Texas-Mexico border directed by Gov. Greg Abbott.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three soldiers died during the year-long mission under Task Force Phoenix. The task force also suffered from endemic misconduct, staffing and logistics issues, Army Times found after interviewing seven Guard troops involved in the mission and analyzing hundreds of pages of documents and audio tapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The documents also raised questions about the efficiency of the lookout posts that most of the troops spent their working days manning. Federally controlled Guard troops assisted with less than 15% of the Border Patrol\u2019s apprehensions in fiscal 2021 \u2014 less than 250,000 of 1.66 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a Wednesday evening email to Army Times, a NORTHCOM spokesperson did not address whether the investigation was in direct response to the December news report.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2021\/12\/08\/death-drugs-and-a-disbanded-unit-how-the-guards-mexico-border-mission-fell-apart\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Border-Story-v3.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Death, drugs and a disbanded unit: How the Guard\u2019s Mexico border mission fell apart<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">For much of 2021, there were deep-seated issues with the National Guard&#039;s federally-controlled border mission.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two members of Congress raised concerns about the mission to Army Times last year, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we want to secure the border, 100 customs officers is better than 100 National Guardsmen,\u201d argued Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., a Marine veteran who is on the House Armed Services Committee. \u201cAll you\u2019re doing is, basically, taking [Guardsmen] away from their families [and] taking people from actual training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., agreed that Congress would step in to \u201censure the folks on the front lines of this crisis have the equipment, resources, and support \u2026 that they need to properly secure our southern border\u201d if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not clear what action Congress might take at the end of the NORTHCOM investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army Regulation 15-6 investigation is directed by a general officer, the NORTHCOM spokesperson said, and \u201cthe investigation team is composed of senior members\u201d from all three components of the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe independent investigation team will take the time required to thoroughly answer the
