I received a report of an National Guard engineer battalion being activated for overseas duty.

I am familiar with the battalion in question. I almost joined it, I was asked to do it.

It has been top-notch, one of the best National Guard battalions in the country.

There is some normal rotation of units overseas, to support ongoing operations/deployments (like Afghanistan and Iraq), but not the kind of activations that might require dozens of RORO ships (each of which could deploy a Brigade’s worth of equipment - enough ships for another Desert Storm).
