Intro: More than 1200 Missouri National Guard troops are scheduled to return from Louisiana before the next hurricane hits.
Brenda Martens (MARTINS) has more from Jefferson City. The troops arrived in Louisiana in August with a checklist of things they needed to do.
Some guardsmen helped out local police, some assisted with the clean-up and others distributed supplies.
State Public Affairs Officer, Captain Tamara Spicer, said the guard is making a big impact in the weather damaged state.
