Oklahoma Army National Guardsmen with 700th Brigade Support Battalion, 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, are supporting pre-mobilization training at Ft. Riley, Kansas for Task Force Tomahawk’s upcoming deployment to Africa.

Members of the BSB are conducting a wide variety of missions, including troop movements, ammunition management, fuel and meal deliveries, vehicle and equipment maintenance, medical support and more.

More than 1,000 Oklahoma Army National Guardsmen, including a company each from Nebraska and Indiana, will deploy overseas as Task Force Tomahawk in support of operations within U.S. Africa Command’s area of responsibility.
