CAMP MURRAY, Wash. An estimated 300 members National Guard troops from Washington state are preparing today for a voluntary deployment to Arizona, where they will help in the federal effort to curb illegal border crossings.

The soldiers and airmen from across Washington will be based in Yuma, where they'll primarily help Border Patrol and U-S Customs agents monitor surveillance systems.

The group is expected to return home in 30 days.
