i thought about it....but they wouldnt survive in such harsh weather.
Oh yah, forgot, do LRS insertions in enemy territory for information gathering. Can't leave EAT out ;)
This actually occurred in 1916 after Pancho Villa's raid on the town of Columbus New Mexico. There was so much concern about the security of the US/Mexico border that President Wilson called up 75,000 National Guardsmen from to patrol the border. At that time, just prior to the US entry into the First World War, there was not much of a standing army from which to draw soldiers. Not much mention of this is made in American history books; I imagine due to the deteriorating US relations with Germany in 1916 (sinking of the Lusitania, etc.) and subsequent entry into the war in Europe in April 1917.Can they not use the NG to patrol the Border?
