Border forts – outposts of security
The U.S. military is also supervising the construction of border forts along the borders with Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria. Thirty-one of the 153 that are planned are completed. These forts, which resemble stone castles with turrets, will serve as outposts for Border Police who will patrol the border. The Iraqi perimeters will ultimately be equipped with state-of-the-art security equipment like ground sensors, night vision technology, and communications equipment. Like the technology that supports CBP Border Patrol efforts, this equipment will provide expanded monitoring capability.
