EAGLE PASS – Greg Abbott has announced the construction of an operations base for up to 1,800 National Guard members, expanding the presence of soldiers and improving their living conditions.
The 80-acre site along the Rio Grande will open a short distance from Shelby Park.
The camp will be constructed in phases of 300 beds every 30 days, with the first phase expected to be complete by April. The complex will include three command posts, weapons storage rooms, and a helicopter pad.
