New Jersey National Guard prepare to deploy

Soldiers of the New Jersey National Guard have completed pre-deployment training.

The soldiers belong to the Security Forces Platoon, 2nd Battalion, 113th Infantry. They will provide security for a Provincial Reconstruction Team in a part of Afghanistan that is not under the direct control of U.S. forces.

For security reasons, the New Jersey National Guard has not released their exact destination. But the soldiers will serve as teachers and trainers in addition to working security details. They also have been trained to provide first aid.
