Foley National Guard members to deploy to Egypt

FOLEY, Ala. (WKRG) — Several members of a National Guard unit based out of Foley are preparing to deploy to the Middle East. Approximately 200 soldiers will deploy under the 1st Battalion of the 173rd Infantry Regiment. In Foley, about 85 members of C company prepared their gear and packed their bags on Saturday. They're heading to Egypt in a month. During the year-long deployment, an Alabama National Guard spokesperson says members of the 1-173rd will support 'Multinational Force and Observers – Task Force Sinai.' Their job is to help maintain the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. Some family members came to support their relatives headed to a long deployment. 'Nervous but happy at the same time, I feel he's doing something good for his country,' one Foley Guardsman's parent, Justin Thicklin said. A spokesperson says these soldiers leave behind their civilian lives and careers for a time to help support the U.S. mission overseas. A farewell ceremony is planned for the unit in Enterprise, Alabama at the high school at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 3. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
