Their main task will be patrolling the border to prevent illegal entries and they will also be involved in apprehending human smugglers and illegal migrants. In addition to being in service directly along the border they will also work along roads within the country.
The contingents will be equipped with vehicles, night vision equipment and mobile heat cameras.
