National Guard Troop Numbers on Southwest Border Reduced
Officials at the Department of Homeland Security and Pentagon said they are cutting the number of troops and changing their mission on the Southwest border of the US.
The drawdown will begin in January and should be completed by March, said a CNN report, and will reduce the number of National Guard troops on the border from 1,200 with responsibilities mainly on the ground to 300 who will support the border mission in the air.
