January 2, 2011
An area guard troop is preparing for deployment to Afghanistan on Monday
The 1165th Military Police Company from Fairhope and Brewton will leave Monday for about a month of training in Mississippi before deploying to Camp Eggars in Kabul Afghanistan to provide security. Camp Eggers is near the Presidential Palace and the U.S. Embassy.
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 public farewell ceremony at noon Monday at the Fairhope Civic Center, 161 North Section Street.

God’s blessings to the 1165th MPC as they deploy. Our prayers go with you and with families left at home.
May God be with you and your families back at home! Keep your eyes on the target.
I pray that God will watch over these soldiers as they leave their families to go to a far away land. I also pray that God protect the families that they must leave behind. God Bless our troops!!!! We love you and support you!!!!
