NEW ORLEANS NAVAL AIR STATION, La. -- Oregon National Guard forces continued to roll into the hurricane-stricken South on Saturday, bringing reinforcements for what is expected to be a long and dangerous chore of restoring order and maintaining security.

About 50 Army and Air Guard troops flew from Portland in a military transport jet borrowed from Washington, landing amid a blur of noise and activity at a Navy airfield about 15 miles south of New Orleans."
