Description
Officially Licensed CBP AMO Laredo Air Branch Patch — U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations Laredo Air Branch Embroidered Patch
CBP Air and Marine — Laredo Air Branch, flying the front line of America’s southern border where Texas meets Mexico.
The Laredo Air Branch is part of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Air and Marine Operations (AMO), operating from Laredo, Texas — one of the busiest and most strategically significant areas along the entire U.S.-Mexico border. Laredo sits directly on the Rio Grande across from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, a region known for intense drug trafficking and smuggling activity. The air branch provides critical aerial surveillance and interdiction support to ground-based Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement agencies.
AMO’s Laredo branch operates a mix of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft equipped with advanced sensors to detect illegal border crossings, drug loads, and smuggling vehicles across the vast South Texas landscape. The branch’s crews fly day and night missions, often in coordination with ground teams who respond to targets identified from the air. This air-ground integration is essential in an area where the terrain, dense brush country, and river crossings create countless opportunities for smugglers to operate.
Laredo is one of the largest inland ports of entry in the United States, handling massive volumes of commercial truck traffic between the U.S. and Mexico. The air branch’s mission extends beyond the border itself, providing domain awareness across a wide area of responsibility that includes major smuggling corridors and trafficking routes.
Perfect For: CBP Air and Marine Operations personnel, Laredo Air Branch members and veterans, South Texas law enforcement professionals, border security enthusiasts, and CBP unit patch collectors.
CBP Laredo Air Branch — on the Rio Grande and in the sky — AMO holds the line at Laredo.
