The Wisconsin Army National Guard's 32nd
Infantry Brigade Combat Team has received a notification of sourcing regarding
a potential deployment to the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of
responsibility, possibly as early as the fall of 2013.
The brigade's approximately 3,400
Soldiers were notified this past weekend during a regularly scheduled drill.
The location of the potential deployment has not been determined yet. Current
Department of Defense policy calls for a 12-month mobilization, which includes
nine months overseas. The total number of 32nd Brigade Soldiers that may deploy
is not known at this time.
A notification of sourcing gives a unit
advance warning that it has been identified for a deployment, which in turn
allows additional time and federal funding for training. Notification of
sourcing does not mean that the notified unit will definitely deploy.
The 32nd Brigade last deployed in 2009
in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The brigade performed multiple missions
at numerous locations in Iraq, including base security and detainee operations.
