Abstract

The customs and border patrol is an integral entity involved in protecting the United States from terrorist activity, illegal immigration, drug smuggling and human trafficking. The border patrol has been around officially for many years, starting with 450 agents in 1924 when the agency was officially established by the U.S. Government. There are many facets of the border patrol and many resource types are used by agents such as aircraft, boats, motor vehicles, ATVs, horses and agents on foot. The border patrol has many specialized sectors that concentrate on different situations.

The early days of the border patrol took place in and around El Paso, Texas at the beginning of the 20th century. The agents were known as mounted guards for their mode of transportation, the horse. There initially were about 75 mounted guards patrolling that area, searching for illegal crossers. There were no uniforms until 1928 and the mounted guards were required to supply their own horse and saddle. They rode for miles in the treacherous heat of the Texas border.
