Description

Captain Ana Schaus, logistics officer, Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 170th Military Police Battalion, holds her young son during a deployment sendoff ceremony honoring 34 members of the 170th's HHD who will leave for a yearlong mission in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The detachment will be responsible for assisting Guantanamo’s Joint Detention group with personnel actions, intelligence, supply, logistics, and day-to-day operations.

“You are our best by several different measures: the best trained, the best equipped, and the best led,” said Lt. Col. Wallace Steinbrecher, 170th MP Battalion Commander during his address to the deploying Soldiers. “There is no force in the world that can stand against you, and I know that you’ll make us proud with the mission you’ve been given.”

Major General Maria Britt, Commanding General, Georgia Army National Guard, also spoke at the ceremony, urging Soldiers and their families to “stay in contact with your chain of command here in Georgia. We can interface with your active duty leadership. It’s hard enough to have your loved ones gone but you don’t have to suffer in silence, let us be your support net.” She added, “Your sacrifice is great. I thank you for all that you have done, and all that you will do over the next year.”
