The service members with Task Force Forge completed surveys of border barriers and are currently working to strengthen them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The additions to the barriers include prefabricated steel brackets, which will support the addition of barbed and concertina wire, according to the Department of Defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReinforcing the border barrier is a tangible way we assist our interagency partners to strengthen security and protect the territorial integrity of the United States,\u201d said Marine Corps Lt.
