A Pentagon official declined to confirm or deny the authenticity of the email to Military Times on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DOD\u2019s encouragement of civilian employees\u2019 interagency collaboration when it comes to DHS is nothing new. Since August 2025, the department has tried recruiting civilian employees for up to six-month details in support of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.war.gov\/News\/News-Stories\/Article\/Article\/4284018\/dod-civilians-can-volunteer-for-details-to-southern-border\/\" rel=\"\">southern border mission<\/a> at participating DHS agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week DOD issued a release urging civilian employees to consider volunteering. Any civilian can volunteer regardless of their job or skills and no resume is required, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.war.gov\/News\/News-Stories\/Article\/Article\/4431484\/war-department-continues-to-encourage-civilians-to-augment-homeland-security-bo\/\" rel=\"\">according<\/a> to the release, which states 1,000 civilians have been \u201cadded to the roster to assist DHS\u201d and 200 have already been deployed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon official declined to comment on whether civilian volunteers approved undergo any additional training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Details typically last 60 days, but volunteers can opt to complete three 60-day details for a total of 180 days, according to the release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The email, meanwhile, states that many personnel have already \u201canswered the call to defend the homeland,\u201d claiming that 900 individuals have already submitted applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detailees, which is how the email referred to the individuals, will directly support Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, according to the email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The email states that participants have assisted ICE and CBP in developing \u201cconcepts of operations, provide logistics support, and managed informant tiplines that led to the arrests of human smugglers, drug dealers and other criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon official declined to comment on how many applicants have been approved and deployed already out of the 900 or on what the application process looks like exactly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amid President Donald Trump\u2019s push for immigration enforcement operations across the country, ICE has offered large signing bonuses and reduced their age requirements in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.gov\/news\/releases\/ice-announces-most-successful-federal-law-enforcement-agency-recruitment-campaign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.ice.gov\/news\/releases\/ice-announces-most-successful-federal-law-enforcement-agency-recruitment-campaign\">effort to expand its workforce<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite claims that ICE has exceeded its recruitment goals, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/08\/13\/virginia-national-guard-to-assist-ice-with-admin-logistics-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/08\/13\/virginia-national-guard-to-assist-ice-with-admin-logistics-support\/\">National Guard troops<\/a> have been mobilized in the past to offer the department support on top of Federal Emergency Management Agency employees being temporarily reassigned to ICE, according to The Washington Post\u2019s reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to an August 2025 Defense Department memo, the agreement between DOD and DHS agencies lasts until Sept. 30, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Defense Department continues to ask its civilian employees to volunteer for logistics support and more with ICE and
