But in the war on terror, today’s Riverines will have not only an offensive capability but will be trained for interdiction, customs and law enforcement, boarding, search and seizure, and more.

The Army’s 458 Transportation Company had the mission of interdiction, boarding, search and seizure and more – as well as firing up any enemy along the rivers and canals of Viet Nam and neighboring countries.

The US Army has had boats on the rivers since before the formation of the US Navy.

What's the Army's navy been up to on the Tigris and Euphrates lately?
