About 70 National Guard members from Waterbury are about to be deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
A send-off ceremony for the 143rd Combat Sustainment Support Battalion is scheduled for Thursday at the Waterbury Armory. The soldiers are expected to be deployed for up to 18 months.
The battalion, which deployed to Bosnia, provides support to combat-ready forces such as personnel administration support and operational and logistical support.
More than one thousand Connecticut National Guard soldiers are deployed in the U.S.-led coalition's war on terrorism.
