The Wisconsin National Guard troops sent to Florida in the wake of Hurricane Irma have been cut back from 25-hundred to around 650. That’s because the damage was not as widespread as expected, even though it was bad in some places. About 600 Wisconsin Guard soldiers will remain in Florida to help with security and humanitarian aid, after flying there from Volk Field in Juneau County on Monday — and about 50 troops who went down in advance will also stay there. But the Guard says hundreds of its members who left in convoys on Monday turned around and came home the next day. Units that were scheduled to leave Tuesday and Wednesday never did.
