Guard Unit To Deploy To Afghanistan
December 28, 2010
An area guard troop is preparing for deployment to Afghanistan just after the New Year.
The 1165th Military Police Company from Fairhope and Brewton will leave January 3 for about a month of training in Mississippi before deploying to Camp Eggars in Kabul Afghanistan.
Members of the 1165th have previously been deployed to Iraq twice and to the Olympics in Salt Lake City. They also assisted in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina.
Nearly 200 members of the 1165th Military Police Company based in Fairhope are being deployed, including about 25 based at Brewton’s Don Bryant National Guard Armory.
There will be a farewell ceremony at noon, January 3 at the Fairhope Civic Center, 161 North Section Street.

My Son is a member of this unit. and some of the other guys in the 1165th graduated with him so I have known them since they played ball together as kids. They will be in my heart and prayers every day and I pray God watches over each of them and brings them all safely home. God Bless the American Soilder!!
To the men and women of the 1165th: May God watch over you for a safe return.
Our thoughts and prayers go with the1165th MPC as they deploy. Take care of yourselves and your comrades and remember all of us at home are asking God’s protection for you.
I know some of the guys from Brewton who will be deploying. I wish them well and look forward to their safe and successful return. From one Veteran to another thank you for serving our country. God Bless all of you and your families.
