"Therefore," he continued, "in addition to the Georgia guardsmen already stationed at the border, we will send reinforcements to Texas this spring who will assist with the construction of a forward command post on the border with Mexico."
Kemp explained that the soldiers will "include those with engineering, mechanical, and general purpose skills."
