Approximately 150 soldiers from the 192nd Military Police Battalion of the Connecticut Army National Guard departed from Bradley Air National Guard Base on April 29, 2026, after a short‑notice deployment order from the Pentagon. The battalion was selected to support U.S. Central Command’s Operation Epic Fury, a campaign aimed at destroying Iran’s offensive missile, naval, and nuclear infrastructure in the Middle East. The unit will provide mission command, staff planning, security, personnel services, and logistical support. The battalion previously deployed to Guantanamo Bay in 2020. Its deployment follows the mobilization training that began on March 20, and it joins about 500 other Connecticut National Guard members overseas. The soldiers received encouragement from state leaders, including Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz, and the adjutant general, Maj. Gen. Francis J. Evon Jr.
