CBP works hard to recruit and retain U.S. military veterans because of the skill sets they bring that match with the agency’s mission and focus.

Nearly 20,000 veterans make up the ranks of CBP. They walk the line as Border Patrol agents. They take to the skies and sea as Air and Marine Operations agents. They check every person and piece of cargo that comes into the ports-of-entry as CBP officers. Additionally, thousands more help CBP achieve its mission in support roles.

The skills they bring to CBP from their military careers is invaluable and one of the reasons why CBP is not only the largest federal law enforcement agency in the U.S., but arguably, one of the most successful.
