Utah Guard troops ready for border duties in Arizona YUMA - The first National Guard troops sent to the Arizona-Mexico border to assist immigration agents were briefed Sunday on plans for them to work on fences and other projects near a fortified stretch of desert. The 55 Utah National Guard members today plan to begin extending fences, improving gravel roads and working on border lighting near the border town of San Luis, Ariz., located 25 miles south of Yuma. "They are putting everything together so they
can hit the ground running," said Maj. Hank McIntire, a spokesman
for the Utah National Guard. advertisement The troops are part of President Bush's plan to send up to 6,000 National Guard members to the four southern border states to perform support duties that would free up immigration agents to focus on border security. The Guard members wouldn't perform significant law enforcement duties. San Luis is part of the nation's busiest U.S. Border Patrol station. ---------------------------------------------------
