“This order could station these huts every half mile”
Another approach could be to put a small base every five or ten miles, and rotate crews every few days.
A small base could let officers sleep in shifts like firemen, while some are patrolling, and others are watching the cameras/flying the drones.
Small bases like that could serve multiple functions, like collection points/holding pens for detainees, helipads, tall mast mounted observation cameras and communications antennas, drone charging stations, vehicle fuel point, or horse stables.
Police stations rather than just sentry posts.
Sounds like an excellent plan.
I wonder if we are seeing the beginning of execution of such a plan. I sure hope so. This could satisfy Pelosi with her demands for more tech on the border.
