DoD civilians volunteer for Trump’s border security mission within 48 hours

Civilians in the Ministry of Defense volunteer by hundreds to obtain temporary details with the Ministry of Internal Security (DHS), and they join efforts to support operations on the troubled southern borders under President Donald Trump’s priority to securing them.

In less than 48 hours, approximately 500 volunteers answered the president’s invitation, as the tasks are available via USAJobs.com. Employment agencies include customs protection and border (CBP), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Immigration and Customs enforcement (ICE).

“This is a problem in national security, and civilians have critical skills groups to support DHS in their mission,” said Deputy Assistant Minister of Defense for the policy of Civil Individuals. “We are proud that our civilians are really ready to register.”

Tasks last up to 180 days, providing skills ranging from intelligence analysis to detention support.
