Maj. Gen. Robert Bray said the round of upcoming deployments will involve almost 800 soldiers. Besides Iraq and Afghanistan, some will be sent to Kuwait and the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The deployments will begin soon and last into next year.
Every unit in the Rhode Island National Guard has been deployed at least once since the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The number of service members on deployment had slowed since a peak that ended in 2006.
