On December 1, my National Guard company, the 1171st Transportation was placed on active duty in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The first three days were spent at the armory in Dresden, TN working on packing several items. On the 4th we flew to Fort Bliss which is near El Paso, Texas. Prior to leaving Tennessee, we were provided an escort by the local and state police and the Patriot Guard.
We arrived to see snow capped mountians and some snow on the ground. Training will intensify in the coming days.
