The citizen soldiers, most of whom served a year in Iraq in 2005, volunteered to round out an Arizona National Guard battalion leaving for Operation Enduring Freedom.
Their mission will be to train Afghan army and security forces. The Hawai'i Guard soldiers are expected to be mobilized on active duty for about one year.
