Members of the Vermont National Guard were told yesterday of a change to its mission in Afghanistan.
The original plan called for the 1,500 men and women troops to be scattered throughout the country. Instead, the troops MAY work in one centralized zone. Major General Michael Dubie did not say if it is a low- or high-violence area of the country. He did say the guard will work with the Macedonian Army. The newly-elected president of Macedonia is expected to be in Vermont sometime this month to meet with Vermont National Guard leaders.
