On May 29, 2026, a ceremony at Fort Huachuca, Arizona marked the transfer of the Joint Task Force Southern Border (JTF‑SB) mission from the Army’s 101st Airborne Division to the 1st Armored Division. U.S. Northern Command’s Air Force General Gregory M. Guillot presided over the event. Army Major General David Gardner, the outgoing JTF‑SB commander and 101st commander, handed authority to Major General Curtis Taylor of the 1st Armored Division, who becomes the third commander of the joint task force. JTF‑SB operates under Northcom and supports border security through detection, monitoring, and technology testing. Since March 2025, more than 20,000 service members have deployed, conducting over 33,000 missions, and the task force has installed 59,000 rolls of concertina wire and 8,000 signs across 656 miles.
