Land border security is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Every country has a distinct security profile informed by its terrain, land area, weather patterns, and threat perceptions. Securing a mountainous border, for example, would involve different technologies and resources than needed for a desert or river border.
• Rising crime, illegal immigration, illicit goods movement, human trafficking, freedom of movement, and the preservation of privacy are common considerations in the development of a national security strategy.
• Political realities also come into play. Physical barriers and armed patrols separate hostile national borders, such as those seen on the Korean peninsula, while allied nations operate more porous borders, such as the Schengen area in Europe that has a common visa policy and no formal passport control or physical boundaries.
• Many countries share thousands of miles of borders with their neighbors, and each national border security operation takes these factors into consideration when dictating their border strategies.
