(Bernard Troncale/Birmingham News) An Alabama Army National Guard unit is about to take on a huge mission that could become even bigger: Overseeing the movement of parts, supplies, food, mail and troops throughout Afghanistan.
About 270 soldiers with the Birmingham-based 135th Expeditionary Sustainment Command will have a send-off ceremony on Saturday. They will do a few more weeks of training at Fort Hood, Texas, and are scheduled to arrive in Afghanistan in early December.
