What best describes Operation Stonegarden?

• A. Standalone agency operation
• B. Joint-Agency operations used to secure the nations borders. Federally grant-funded operation.
• C. Maritime rescue
• D. Training exercise

Answer: (B)

Operation Stonegarden is a joint-agency effort funded by federal grants to bolster border security. It brings together federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement to conduct coordinated border-security operations along the nation’s borders, with funding to support personnel, equipment, and planning in partnership with federal agencies like DHS and CBP. This emphasis on interagency collaboration and federal funding is what makes it the best description. It isn’t a single-agency operation, a maritime rescue mission, or simply a training exercise.
