Soldiers at the Cherry Hill National Armory will be joining the deployment of about half of the New Jersey National Guard this summer.

The 328th Military Police of Cherry Hill was originally scheduled to deploy separately, but is now joining the 50th Infantry Brigade Combat Team to deploy to Iraq beginning in June.

The approximately 170 MPs will bring the total force of National Guard soldiers to more than 3,000 -- the largest deployment of the New Jersey National Guard since World War II.

The 50th IBCT will be conducting detainee operations, security force measurements and some convoys while serving to support Operation Iraqi Freedom.

"The Military Police fit right into that mission," said Col. Steven Ferrari, the commander of the 50th IBCT. "Their expertise will certainly help."
