beginning this week is is expected to rise.
“What I can confirm is there will be additional force over and above the 5,
239, the magnitude of that difference I don’t have an answer for you,” U.S
. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command head Gen.
Terrence O'Shaughnessy told reporters at the Pentagon.
O'Shaughnessy added that the final number of troops is “undetermined,” and
will change as the Pentagon “refine the requests” from the Department of
Homeland Security and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP).
The cost of the deployment “is unknown at this time.”
O'Shaughnessy announced a day prior that the U.S. military will send more
than 5,200 active duty troops to the border in Texas, Arizona and California
as part of Operation Faithful Patriot. He noted then it was the “just the
start of this operation.” |
