Arizona National Guard military police to help in Guantanamo

The Arizona Army National Guard is sending a unit of military police to Guantanamo Bay to help with Operation Enduring Freedom.

The soldiers are deploying Friday and will be gone for about nine months.

Officials with the Arizona National Guard say this is the second deployment for the 850th Military Police Battalion in the last 10 years in support of overseas contingency operations.

The more than four dozen soldiers assigned to the 850th are part of the few remaining Arizona National Guard members serving on federal active duty overseas.

So there are reportedly only 55 prisoners at Guantanamo and there are now an equal number of new military police being deployed there on top of the existing presence which I can't find a current count for.

Appears they are gearing up for some more prisoners but likely more compliant ones based on the numbers.

It's a 9 month deployment.

Hmm...Curiouser and curiouser. I wonder who the guests are that they're expecting?

I guess I needed a refresher course; Operation Enduring Freedom

On May 2, 2011, U.S. Navy SEALS launched a raid on Osama Bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, killing the al-Qaeda leader and mastermind of the September 11th terrorist’s attacks (O’Rourke). Operation Enduring Freedom officially ended December 28, 2014, although coalition forces remain on the ground to assist with training Afghan security forces (Torreon).

The U.S. Navy had two Medal of Honor recipients during Operation Enduring Freedom, both Navy SEALS, Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy and Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Edward C. Byers Jr.

Military Objectives Met

I guess whichever operation they really mean could be considered classified at this time?

Indictments...
I need a tick tock meme.

Was hoping someone would pick up on that. I don't like bumping my own thread for failure of presenting all facts.

Much appreciated!

Actually wondering if this has been reinstated by the EO for human rights at this point.

I don't know but I found a cool list of operations here.
Sorry. I don't mean to drift.
Operation New Dawn maybe?
Can I put this here?

Again, I'm sorry to drift from main story.

Are NG MP's as hard-assed as ya' know regular MPs are? No matter, they're representing the State of Arizona in this case?
