TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — More than 500 U.S. Army personnel are expected to arrive at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in the "coming weeks" as part of an effort to bolster border military forces.
Approximately 550 soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team are deploying to the base.
