 Recently (last week) the Nevada A.N.G. was deployed to Saudi
Arabia to replace the Alabama A.N.G. When they were deployed,
not all of the unit (a T.R.G.) was sent, just 120 volunteers.
Is it normal for a unit to be split like this, and when a guard
unit is called up doesn't everyone go? Also the Nevada Army guard
units are apparently going to be called up soon. They are an armored
battalion, a heavy lift helo unit, and various signal and m.p. cos. Are other state
guard units already deployed to the middle east? If so can someone post
a list.
