CBP Ops Support EAC Casey Durst, representing the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Operations Support, shared updates on recent activities and achievements through a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) in late July 2026.

On July 23, Durst highlighted specialized medical training for CBP personnel, stating, “The @CBP Office of the Chief Medical Officer sponsored Tactical Emergency Casualty Care training in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Fifteen CBP EMS providers learned rapid trauma care skills for high-risk emergencies. #CBPOpsSpprt”.

Later that day, Durst described the role of operational coordination within CBP: “Did you know? The @CBP Watch within #CBPOpsSpprt fuses operational reporting, intelligence, and incident management—helping CBP respond quickly and effectively to any situation.”

On July 24, Durst reported on CBP’s involvement during the FIFA World Cup 2026, posting: “.@CBP competed and scored big during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Conducted 19,681 NII Scans
Seized 194 Drones
Removed 473,158 counterfeit WC26 items, worth $33,062,608! Now on to preparing for the LA Olympics in 2028 #CBPxFIFA2026″
.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regularly undertakes large-scale security operations at major international events such as the FIFA World Cup. These efforts often include advanced scanning technology for non-intrusive inspections (NII), drone interdiction measures, and enforcement actions against counterfeit goods. Counterfeit merchandise poses risks not only to intellectual property but also to consumer safety.

As preparations begin for upcoming global events like the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028, CBP continues to emphasize readiness through both tactical training and integrated operational support.
