Ohio Guard call-up said to be largest since WW II



The U.S. military is giving the Ohio National Guard its biggest call-up since World War II this week, sending about 1,600 troops to Kuwait, with some of them going on to Iraq.

With their departure, the guard is doing more to help members' families.

The 37th Infantry Brigade Combat Team is spread throughout Ohio and includes another 1,100 soldiers from Michigan.

The Ohio Guard will bring new support programs and strengthen others for the families at home.

Maj. Gen. Gregory L. Wayt, Ohio's adjutant general, said the Guard has moved from a strictly reserve force to more of an active-duty one and families will have the support they would find on an active-duty base,

As a result, the Guard is beginning or strengthening:

• A youth mobilization camp that allows military children to meet other children in their same situation.

• Intensive premobilization briefings to help families with medical, legal, and financial concerns.

• Monthly family-readiness group meetings during which unit commanders call in from overseas to answer questions.

• A Web site that helps families and soldiers keep track of one another's schedules, post podcasts, and create photo albums.

"We do get better at this," said Lt. Col. Robert Bramlish, the state family-program director, of how the guard prepares families.

"I -- as your glorious commander -- have taken the WAY EXCELLENT military advice of my Vice President, Dick "Five Military Deferments" Cheney, leader of the illustrious Republicon Chickenhawk Stormtroopers. They are all, like, military experts and stuff, though not as expertian as me. So shut up and sit down you noisy proles. You are either for us or against us. Smirk."
