Departure Ceremony for Deploying Montana Guard Unit on Saturday
A group of Montana soldiers will soon be headed overseas on a military deployment in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, and Operation Spartan Shield.
The Helena-based 189th Aviation Battalion draws soldiers from all across the state of Montana. An official departure ceremony will take place this Saturday in Helena at the Army Aviation Support Facility on Skyway Drive. The ceremony will begin at 930 AM.
According to an advisory from the Montana National Guard, about 300 soldiers will depart for their pre-mobilization training following the ceremony.
God Bless these men and women and their families for the sacrifice they are about to endure on our behalf!
