Over 70 VT Air National Guard Members Deploying in September

Over 70 members of the Vermont National Guard are set to head overseas for deployment, reports NBC 5.

Members of the 158th Fighter Wing will begin leaving in small groups for their six month deployments this month. While the guard did not specify where they will be going, they will be providing support for the US Africa and Central European commands.

Their duties will include air transportation, civil engineering, communications, contracting, ground transportation, logistics, medical, and supply.

These deployments will reportedly not affect the operations of the VT Air Guard’s F-35 aircraft.
