Nearly 70 soldiers with a Pierre-based unit of the South Dakota Army National Guard will deploy to the Middle East beginning in July 2019.
The 152nd Combat Sustainment Support Battalion is scheduled for a nine-month deployment to provide multi-functional logistics and support operations.
The unit will report to Fort Hood, Texas, to complete several weeks of theater-specific training prior to deployment overseas.
This will be the second mobilization for the 152nd CSSB since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The unit first deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2013.
