The US Department of Defense plans to deploy 20,000 troops nationwide by 2011
to help state and local officials respond to terror or nuclear attacks and emergencies,
The Washington Post said Monday.
Citing Pentagon officials, the newspaper said the plan calls for three rapid-reaction
forces.
The first 4,700-strong unit, built around an active-duty combat brigade, is
based at Fort Stewart, Georgia, and is already available for deployment, according
to General Victor Renuart, commander of the US Northern Command, it said.
Two additional groups will later join nearly 80 smaller National Guard and
reserve units made up of about 6,000 troops to support local and state authorities
nationwide, The Post said.
