Ariz. gov. wants Guard helos from other states

PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is asking President Obama to reallocate
National Guard helicopters from other states to help Arizona secure its
border with Mexico.

Brewer made the request in a letter to Obama dated Thursday and released
Friday.

She says Arizona only has four OH-58 Kiowa helicopters available for
border missions because some choppers are deployed overseas and others are
reserved for training missions.

Brewer requests that additional helicopters be freed up from training
missions or taken from other states and assigned to the southwestern
border.

The governor acknowledges her request may be unpopular with other
governors, but she says she believes there are legitimate national
interests in sending more aircraft to Arizona.
