SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - The Vermont Air National Guard is gearing up for another deployment.

Vermont National Guard leader Maj. Gen. Greg Knight told WCAX last month that the Guard was planning for upcoming deployments. That has now been confirmed.

The mobilization order is confidential, so officials won’t say where they’re headed or when they’re departing. Officials say the airmen are fully prepared to support the mission.

About 200 members of the Vermont Air National Guard most recently returned from a several-month training deployment in Japan.

The announcement comes as the U.S military is in the midst of its largest deployment in the Caribbean since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
