The company was celebrated with a departure ceremony hosted by Maj. Gen. Linda Singh, the adjutant general of Maryland, immediately prior to its departure for Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. The company will train at Fort Bliss for about a month, according to Col. Charles Kohler of the Maryland National Guard Public Affairs Office. After that training, the company will be shipped off to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, offering security and support to the troops stationed there.
For Sgt. Jonathan Rawlings, of Sykesville, the approximately nine-month deployment will be difficult, with the departure ceremony marking one of the most emotional experiences of being an MP. This is the second departure for Rawlings, following a deployment to Afghanistan in 2013.

Deployment is never easy.
They aren't whining or complaining, or forsaking their duty. Just letting you all know a little of the sacrifices they make. Everyday.
