The article identified them as reservists? Is that something the Army normally does placing reservists is hot zones.

I read elsewhere that a good number of the injured are Arizona National Guard, there to provide security and law enforcement.

My question is why are National Guard troops serving in these forward positions?

[NeverTyranny]

Heartbreaking. My sincere condolences to the families.

I just heard 300 Illinois National Guard are being deployed to Middle East. Not enough active duty? I tbought Guard was sorf of a last resort after reserve. Dirty rotten shame. We are in a world of hurt.

And why wouldn't they be? The Guard does everything that Big Army does.

And all from Georgia. Were they Georgia N G?

[mac_truck]

Because they’re NATIONAL GUARD, that’s why.

Send the professional soldiers to the front lines ffs.

The muslim brotherhood also watches videos of the tactics used by Russia in Ukraine.

[Liberty Ship]

Nope. They were Army Reserve. Engineers. 718th Engineering Company out of Benning....excuse me Moore.

[xkaydet65]

Thanks. Still the same. Local guys, reservists not regulars.

Agree.
Trump should reverse all the woke new fake names.
Ft Benning is fine
