November 09, 2009
Operation Mom Idaho Group
Thousands of National Guard soldiers are going overseas.
3,500 members of the 2nd Brigade Combat team of the 34th Infantry Division are located all over Iowa.
But come next year, they will be called to duty - headed overseas to join thousands of other soldiers for service in Afghanistan.
The Iowa brigade will start deploying in the fall of 2010. It will be part of ongoing operations fighting the taliban. They will also train the afghan national security forces.
The pentagon says the Iowa brigade is being told now to give members more time to get their family and work situations set.
CBS2's Robert Price talked with some families who know the process all too well.
Paula starts a Chapter of Operation Mom, a military family support group in Iowa. (View this editorial by us of the link below)
