ALEXANDRIA, La (AP) - The 1139th Military Police Company of the Missouri National Guard awoke today in a steady rain in northern Louisiana. Many of the 62 members of the 1139th who are in Louisiana to help deal with what Hurricane Gustav left behind started the deployment waiting as delays to supplies and food held them up. The Missouri National Guard soldiers are in Louisiana for various Hurricane Gustav-related missions, although most of the first arrivals were military police units. Another 700 are following behind them, largely comprised of engineering battalions.
