The Department of Homeland Security — which has had to cease some operations, although not border security — made the request for more troops to shore up the border with Mexico.
The request will very likely mean the deployment of more forces, including combat engineers and aviation units. There are now some 2,300 active troops on the border and an additional 2,100 National Guard troops.
The active-duty deployment was scheduled to be completed at the end of January, while the Guard troops are scheduled to remain until September.
A senior military official said the new request could include thousands more troops and that installing the fencing could take months. The Pentagon is now considering which units to send.
