Arizona Border Recon

Arizona Border Recon (AZBR) is an American paramilitary militia group in Arizona composed of former military, law enforcement and private security contractors. The group was featured in the 2015 documentary Cartel Land. According to Chicago Film Critics Association member Bill Stamets, the documentary was inspired by a December, 2012 Rolling Stone report.

The group was formed in 2011 by an Arizona man, Tim Foley, a former construction supervisor and Army veteran. As of late 2015, the group had c. 200 members operating in the Altar Valley around Sasabe, Arizona,    armed with personal weapons including pistols, shotguns and semi-automatic rifles. AZBR originally targeted illegal immigration, but as of 2015 had a stated goal of disrupting drug smuggling across the United States–Mexico border and preventing infiltration by foreign terrorists.
