More than 200 members of the West Virginia
National Guard and US Army Reserve have
been called up to support the national military.
About 20 members of the Guard's 130th Airlift
Wing in Charleston will be deployed to support
missions in Kosovo and the enforcement of the
no-fly zone over Iraq.
Governor Bob Wise says the guardsmen will be
deployed for 90 days.
More than 180 Army reservists from
north-central West Virginia have been activated
to support the homeland defense effort,
Operation Noble Eagle.
Civilian spokesman Jack Gordon says the Army
Reserve activation includes 163 soldiers from
the 363rd Military Police Company in Grafton,
20 from Detachment 101st Platoon in Jane
Lew and 40 reservists from Pittsburgh's
Detachment 202nd Platoon.
All the reservists will report to Fort Dix, New
Jersey, this week.
