Joseph R Chenelly Times staff writer NEW ORLEANS Combat operations are underway on the streets to take this ci ty back in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Gary Jones, c ommander of the Louisiana National Guards Joint Task Force told Army Tim es Friday as hundreds of armed troops under his charge prepared to launc h a massive citywide security mission from a staging area outside the Lo uisiana Superdome. This wi ll be a combat operation to get this city under control. Jones said the military first needs to establish security throughout the city. Military and police officials have said there are several large ar eas of the city are in a full state of anarchy. Dozens of military trucks and up-armored Humvees left the staging area ju st after 11 am Friday, while hundreds more troops arrived at the same staging area in the city via Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters. While some fight the insurgency in the city, other carry on with rescue a nd evacuation operations. Helicopters are still pulling hundreds of stra nded people from rooftops of flooded homes. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and police helicopters f illed the city sky Friday morning. According to Petty Officer 3rd Class Jeremy Grishamn, a spokesman for the amphibious assault ship Bataan, the vessel kept its helicopters at sea Thursday night after several military helicopters reported being shot at from the ground. Numerous soldiers also told Army Times that they have been shot at by arm ed civilians in New Orleans. Spokesmen for the Joint Task Force Headquar ters at the Superdome were unaware of any servicemen being wounded in th e streets, although one soldier is recovering from a gunshot wound susta ined during a struggle with a civilian in the dome Wednesday night. I never thought that at a National Guardsman I would be shot at by other Americans, said Spc. And I never thought Id have to carry a rifle when on a hurricane relief miss ion. Cliff Ferguson of the 527th Engineer Battalion pointed out that he k nows there are plenty of decent people in New Orleans, but he said it is hard to stay motivated considering the circumstances. Yo u have to think about whether it is worth risking your neck for someone who will turn around and shoot at you.
