From The Indianapolis News, Friday, November 17, 1916: The Third Indiana Infantry has been ordered home from its camp at Llano Grande, Texas on the Mexican border where it has been stationed since July. Preparations have been made at Ft. Benjamin Harrison to receive the returning guardsmen. It will take several weeks to muster the men out of federal service and they probably will not be with their families until Christmas. Indications are that large numbers of troops will not take the oath for longer six year enlistments, three years in active service and three years in the reserve. If they do not take the oath, they will revert to the state militia and receive no pay or equipment from the federal government. The Third Indiana Infantry was the first of the Indiana National Guard units to reach the border.
