WASHINGTON - The Pentagon will be sending back the remaining 900 active-duty troops who were sent to the Washington DC area to potentially respond to civil unrest, and they are expected to start heading back to their home bases, a US official told Reuters.

The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the order had been signed by US Defense Secretary Mark Esper and that the troops would be heading back to Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Drum in New York.

While the troops were in the National Capital Region, they were not deployed to Washington DC and were on standby in case they were needed.
