LTG Steve Blum. stated: I was here 2V months ago and things that I didnt think would be possible in a year have already been accomplished. Infrastructure is up. fencing is up. roads are built. lighting is up. and apprehensions are down. Those arent just words. The success of Operation Jump Start is tangible. According to the Year 1 Review: Force multiplication has allowed more Border Patrol agents to remain in the enforcement mode. not the support mode. The additional manpower has allowed DHS to return 563 agents to frontline positions. The result is referred to as "badges back to the border." The Guard presence has added 337 miles of expanded border surveillance capabilities along the southwest border.
