Mississippi Guard Unit Mobilized
July 08, 2004 By Mark Thornton, The Star-Herald, Kosciusko, Mississippi
The Kosciusko unit has 56 soldiers.
The 155th, which is known as "Dixie Thunder," was put on alert in May. It is the largest military support group in the state. The last time the 155th was mobilized was in November 1990, for Operation Desert Storm. The soldiers trained at bases in Texas and California for several weeks, but the war ended before they were deployed.
As of last week, 14 Mississippi soldiers had been killed in the War on Terror -- the highest per capita rate in the country.t
