By AP

Frankfort, KY – In what will be its largest mobilization to a combat zone since World War Two, Kentucky National Guard troops will be deployed to Iraq next year. Guard members will be on security detail as the military decreases its presence there. Over 1,350 members of the 149th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade have orders to report to their respective armories in June.
