The Armed Forces will prioritize protection of U.S. sovereignty and territorial integrity along national borders.
The Secretary of Defense will revise the Unified Command Plan to assign USNORTHCOM the mission to seal borders and repel forms of invasion including unlawful migration, narcotics trafficking, and human trafficking.
Standard boilerplate: preserves existing agency authority, conditions the order on appropriations, and creates no enforceable private rights.
