Nearly 3,000 Iowa National Guard soldiers are training this month in Mississippi. It’s part of their preparation for the Iowa Guard’s largest deployment since World War II, one that will eventually send those soldiers to Afghanistan. KCRG-TV9 is with soldiers in the Iowa National Guard all this week at Camp Shelby, Mississippi to show what it takes to train for this historic mission.
