Rumsfeld backs border duty for National Guard deployment
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told a Senate panel that up to 6,000 National Guard troops could aid border security with Mexico without harming other missions. He argued the training value and that the force would be a small portion of the 400,000 Guard. He noted Iraq progress influences potential troop withdrawals, and Pace said no province could be fully withdrawn in three months.
