"About 130 military police officers of the Maryland Army National Guard are set to leave Thursday for combat training and subsequent deployment to Iraq, officials confirmed yesterday.
The 290th Military Police Company, based at the Parkville Armory, expects to be in Iraq for about nine months after 90 days of pre-deployment training at Fort Bliss, Texas.
The call-up has been long planned and is not part of the Pentagon's plans, reported this week, to alert up to eight National Guard units that they should be ready to go to Iraq or Afghanistan beginning next summer."
