With another caravan approaching, DoD shifts forces along border
By: Tara Copp  
The Pentagon is shifting 250 troops to reinforce the port of entry at Eagle Pass, Texas, in response to a new caravan headed toward that U.S. border crossing, officials announced Wednesday.
The troops are being pulled from Arizona and repositioned in Texas. Those forces include military police, medical personnel and engineers, DoD said.
Last week, the Pentagon announced it would be sending 3,750 additional active duty troops to the border to support Department of Homeland Security agents and extend sections of concertina wire barrier another 150 miles. The additional forces will bring the total active-duty presence there to 4,250. In addition, there are 2,300 National Guard forces deployed to the border.
