(Springfield, IL) — More Illinois troops could soon be on recovery duty in Puerto Rico. Governor Bruce Rauner’s office yesterday said they are placing over 550 Illinois National Guardsmen on standby for a possible deployment. The governor said Illinois is simply waiting for an invitation from Puerto Rico or an order from commanders on the ground to deploy.
