Marines from the Second Beach and Terminal Operations Company and the Fourth Landing Support Battalion at Hunter Army Field are heading to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. <br>
<br>
Hunter spokesman Captain Kirk Spangenberg says the unit of 120 marines is trained to ship and operate heavy equipment. They could be deployed for up to a year. <br>
<br>
In another deployment, members of the 148th Medical Evacuation Company left for Fort Hood, Texas, Sunday. <br>
<br>
The members of the Georgia Army National Guard left the Army Aviation Support Facility Number one at Winder. <br>
<br>
Most of the 100-plus-member unit will assume duties of U.S. Army troops who have been deployed overseas. <br>
<br>
The 148th trains with the UH-1 helicopters to perform medical rescue missions. <br>
<br>
One member says the 148th likely will move to other Army bases within the U.S. and could eventually be sent to Fort Riley, Kansas, or Fort Carson, Colorado. <br>
<br>
Many company members believe they will be deployed one year or more.
