The troops were approached by a group of six to eight armed men while on patrol Jan. 3 and withdrew without confrontation, according to a military report.
"The soldiers did exactly what their mission was, to pull back if they're approached by armed personnel coming across the border," Tennessee National Guard spokesman Randy Harris said Saturday.
The ceremony honoring the four Guardsmen is expected to take place later this week, and Tennessee National Guard Adjutant Gen. Gus Hargett is likely to attend, Harris said.
They will be presented with either an Army commendation or achievement medal.

Whoever came up with that mission should get a Darwin award.
