Three hundred soldiers from the Kentucky National Guard were deployed to southeast Asia on Saturday.
There were several deployment ceremonies around Kentucky on Saturday, including soldiers who are part of the 623rd Field Artillery Unit.
The national guard said their deployment is not related to the Israel-Hamas war, but instead a standard rotation to support Middle Eastern allies. It is part of Operation Spartan Shield.
Other ceremonies were held on Saturday in Campbellsville, Hopkinsville and Glasgow.
