Air and Marine Operations (AMO), a component of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), is an elite team of highly trained professionals dedicated to protecting America. Our mission is defined by camaraderie, pride, and a shared purpose to detect, prevent, and interdict terrorists, weapons, and contraband from illegally entering the United States.

You will monitor suspect behavior patterns, analyze strategic and tactical intelligence, and support search and rescue and humanitarian efforts. This role offers a unique blend of flight operations and law enforcement, providing a stable career with exceptional federal benefits and the chance to serve on the front lines of national defense.
