The last contingent of the 3,200 U.S. troops rushed by President Reagan to Honduras two weeks ago in response to a reported Nicaraguan incursion left for home today, the U.S. Embassy said.

A spokesman said the last 80 soldiers left aboard a C-141 transport jet this morning for 82nd Airborne Division headquarters at Ft. Bragg, N.C. According to the Pentagon, the U.S. troops departed after a rigorous inspection to ensure no supplies were diverted to the U.S.-backed Contras.
