The 549th Military Police Company, assigned to Joint Task Force – Southern Border, conducts detection and monitoring operations at San Diego, Calif. April 10, 2025. The Ground-Based Operational Surveillance System (Expeditionary) (G-BOSS(E)) is a mobile, self-contained surveillance system developed for persistent observation and threat detection. It integrates various sensor technologies to monitor activities over extended ranges, providing continuous situational awareness. Under the direction of U.S. Northern Command, Joint Task Force–Southern Border aligns efforts to seal the southern border and repel illegal activity and is responsible for full-scale, agile, and all-domain operations, which will allow for more effective and efficient DoD operations.
