SPRINGER, N.M. (AP) - The New Mexico National Guard is holding a parade and ceremony in Springer on Thursday to bid farewell to 47 soldiers who are being deployed to Egypt.
The 615th Combat Support Battalion headquartered in Springer is sending 47 soldiers to Sinai as part of the Multi-Force Observer Mission. The deployment will last nine months.
