CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Another 100 Nevada National Guard members planned to leave Thursday for New Orleans, in addition to about 100 firefighters, doctors and medical support troops from the state who left Wednesday to help with Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
Members of the 72nd Military Police Company and the 152nd Security Forces Squadron planned to board two planes, one from the Nevada Air Guard and the other from the Idaho Air Guard, and fly to New Orleans.
The military police company is based in Henderson with a detachment in Ely, and the security forces squadron is headquartered in Reno. Both units have seen extensive duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere in Southwest Asia in the past two years.
