The Oklahoma National Guard’s 45th Infantry Brigade will receive a send-off Oct. 18 before deploying to Iraq. The brigade's 2,400 soldiers will train at Fort Bliss, Texas, for 10 to 12 weeks before deployment. The Oklahoma Guard is working on a plan to get all the soldiers home for 10 days of leave over Christmas before their scheduled departure.
