Army Paratroopers Keep Watch Over New Orleans Neighborhood

Army Paratroopers Keep Watch Over New Orleans Neighborhood

<snip>

It was early evening Sept. 17, but the 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers had been up since first light.

The soldiers conduct neighborhood-watch-like patrols in Algiers to assist local authorities to find out "how people are doing" after the storm, explained Army Capt. Kenton R. Barber, Battery A's 28-year-old executive officer.

The captain noted that he and his soldiers don't have authority to conduct law-enforcement missions. Barber's soldiers carry live ammunition for their M-4 carbines, but the weapons aren't loaded, he said.
