The Egyptian Border Guard Corps were organised in border guard regiments totaling approximately 25,000 members.[3] They are a lightly armed paramilitary force, mostly Bedouins, responsible for border surveillance, general peacekeeping, drug interdiction, and prevention of smuggling.[citation needed] During the late 1980s, the force was equipped with remote sensors and night-vision binoculars.[citation needed] High-speed motorboats are also in service.[4] The Border Guards were originally under the control of the Ministry of Defense, however control was almost immediately given to the Ministry of Interior after their creation.[citation needed]
On 27 April 2016, President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi inaugurated the new headquarters of the ministry in New Cairo. The complex covers about 52,000 square metres (560,000 sq ft).[5]
