TOMAH, Wis. – More than 60 Wisconsin National Guard Soldiers with the 732nd Combat Sustainment Support Battalion’s Headquarters and Headquarters Company were mobilized to active duty Nov. 30 during a deployment sendoff ceremony at Tomah High School.

Following pre-mobilization training, the Guardsmen will deploy to the U.S. Central Command area of operations, where they will synchronize and control logistics operations in support of Operation Inherent Resolve.

My guess is that they’re headed to Syria. I may be wrong, though. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It is unclear if the 1,000 Guardsmen is an increase in the Pentagon’s force in Africa, or if those troops are replacing others currently deployed. The U.S. has been increasingly operating in countries like Somalia and Niger as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have drawn down.

There are some 6,000 American troops, Defense Department civilians and contractors across Africa, an Army spokesperson told Military.com. About 3,400 of those people operate from Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, which serves as the major hub for the U.S. military on the continent.
