About 180 Army reservists from the 363rd Military Police Company based in Grafton
have been mobilized. They will be joining 500 members of the 1092nd Engineers who
will be leaving for active duty on Monday, including the Spencer Detachment.
Several hundred other reservists from West Virginia have been called to active duty
in preparation for war with Iraq.
More than 110 soldiers reported today. Another 30 soldiers from the unit's Jane Lew
