PDC Guard members ready to serve at border
Some southwest Wisconsin soldiers are heading to the Mexican border to provide security.
The National Guard announced Wednesday that 125 soldiers from the 229th Engineer Company out of Prairie du Chien will head to the border this fall as part of a federal deployment.
They will assist with what Guard officials called “non-law enforcement activities“ along the border.
A Wisconsin National Guard spokesman says the units deployment timeline and destinations have yet to be determined.
