Air and Marine Operations is a division within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), responsible for providing aerial and maritime surveillance as well as support to other law enforcement agencies. The unit was established in 2006 through the merger of separate air and marine programs under CBP. Over its two-decade history, it has played a key role in border security operations across land and coastal regions.
