Title 10 status... 125 Wisconsin National Guard troops to be deployed to southern border

About 125 Wisconsin Army National Guard troops will be deployed to the nation’s southwest border this fall as part of a mission ordered by President Joe Biden.

The 229th Engineer Company of Prairie du Chien and Richland Center are set to join 22 other states in assisting U.S. Customs and Border Protection with non-law enforcement activities and will do so for about a year.


The Wisconsin troops are mobilizing in a Title 10 status, meaning they were ordered to federal active duty by the president and will operate under federal control with federal funding from the U.S. Department of Defense.

If it's its important for Wisconsin to do it's part to deploy, okay, but damn.
