LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Hundreds of soldiers of the Indiana National Guard will support the D.C. National Guard starting in December.
According to a news release Thursday, about 300 Indiana guardsmen are being mobilized at the request of the D.C. National Guard and authorized by Indiana Gov. Mike Braun.
They will replace soldiers and airmen from other states who have been mobilized since August.
"Hoosiers are proud of our Guardsmen, who are well-trained and fully prepared for this mission," Braun said in a written statement. "We are grateful for their service and support in our nation’s capital."
Most of the soldiers being deployed are based in Bloomington and Gary.
Training will be conducted at Camp Atterbury before the troops leave in December. The D.C. National Guard will provide additional training when the soldiers arrive.
The mission is expected to last no longer than four months.
