This volume contains two articles that review the history and role of the US Army in various capacities on the Mexican border. The articles are edited versions of a Congressional Research Service report and a Combat Studies Institute publication from 2006 and 2007 and discuss the legal authorizations and restrictions of border security, military support of it, and the history of the US Army's role in war, patrols, chasing bandits, securing persons and property, and supporting civil law enforcement and antidrug efforts on the border.
