The Guard<span style="font-size: 13px;"> provides $36 per diem for food and a meal per day when on duty, he said.</span></p> <p>Gov. Rick Perry used executive power to tap $38 million in emergency funds to pay for his deployment of 1,000 Guard troops in July after national attention focused on tens of thousands of Central American children and families entering the country illegally.</p> <p>"Governor Perry is confident the Guard stands ready to assist any soldier who may need it, regardless of deployment or duty status so they can meet the needs of their family, or the mission they are performing," said Rich Parsons, a spokesman for the governor.</p> <p>State Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, who is running to replace Perry, called the lack of resources "disgraceful" and said she will personally deliver food to the Valley for the National Guardsmen on Saturday.</p> <p>"Whether you agree that we need the National Guard or the additional deputy sheriffs that I have previously called for to secure the border, it is shameful that our troops would be sent to keep us safe without basic supplies like food," Davis said.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px;">State Rep. Rene Oliveira, D-Brownsville said troops resorting to using a f</span><span style="font-size: 13px;">ood bank is "disrespectful" and blamed poor planning.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px;">"My complaint here is that troops in the field shouldn't have to be relying on their credit cards to eat," Oliveria said. "Even if it was a good faith mistake we should not be referring guardsmen to a food bank."<br/></span></p> <p>Lt. Col. Joanne MacGregor, a spokesperson for the Guard, said two troops are being provided assistance by the Guard. Some troops see a window of up to a month between pay from their civilian job and Guard duties. Others were unemployed prior to being deployed, she said.</p> <p>"For some reason (the troops) don't have the funding in their pocket to buy food, and we obviously don't want them to go hungry," Terri Drefke, executive director for the Food Bank RGV told KGBT.</p> <p>MacGregor, the Texas Guard spokeswoman, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140903133914/http://www.expressnews.com/news/us-world/border-mexico/article/Rick-Perry-s-National-Guard-deployment-under-way-5714238.php?cmpid=twitter-premium&t=94e8307e61eb16c911" target="_blank">told</a> the Express-News earlier this week that the troops do not have the authority to question or detain anyone.</p> <p>"The soldiers will be armed for self-defense purposes while on duty," she said. "... Their mission will be to provide aviation support, long-range observation and logistical support."</p> <p><em>Rio Grande Valley bureau reporter Aaron Nelsen contributed to this report.</em></p> <p><em>kparker@express-news.net</em></p> <p><em>Twitter: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140903133914/https://twitter.com/KoltenParker" target="_blank">@KoltenParker</a></em></p> </div> </div> <div class="hst-articlefooter">   <div class="socialBar"> <style type="text/css"> .socialBar { height:auto;
