About 15 soldiers for the 152nd Security Forces Squadron of the Nevada Air Guard have been deployed to the East Coast with the possibility of further duties in the war against terrorism, Gov. Kenny Guinn and Nevada Adjutant General Maj. Gen. Giles Vanderhoof announced Thursday.
The 152nd Security Forces Squadron have protected aircraft and military installations most recently in Ecuador, Egypt and Turkey. The squadron specializes in small unit combat tactics, air base defense and urban warfare.
The remainder of the 152nd Security Forces Squadron remains on active duty in Reno, as it has been since November.
The Nevada Air National Guard has about 1,100 troops.
