TACOMA The Washington National Guard has sent more than 700 soldiers with the Guard’s 81st Stryker Brigade Combat Team to Poland in support of NATO’s Enhanced Forward Presence mission.
It is the largest deployment for the Washington National Guard since 2010 when 3,500 troops deployed to Ukraine, according to spokesperson Joseph Siemandel.
“Even while dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, our citizen-soldiers continue to train and deploy in support of our overseas requirements,” said Maj. Gen. Bret Daugherty, the Adjutant General of the Washington National Guard. “These Guardsmen supported so many missions this past year and continue to be professional and motivated to enhance the safety and security of our state and nation.”

Alivia Stehlik’s fears that transgender soldiers would be kicked out of the Army faded Friday as former President Donald Trump’s regulations were overturned. Those who meet military standards are once again allowed to enlist and serve openly. But the policy change announced in March by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and taking effect Friday won’t erase Stehlik’s memories of how she said she felt while serving as a transgender woman in Afghanistan in 2018, when the White House initiated moves to bar most transgender people from serving.

Washington National Guard soldiers – 700 – heading to Poland for NATO mission
The deployment to Poland is the largest for the Washington National Guard since the 81st Brigade Combat Team deployed in 2009-2010 and 2004-2005 to support Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.
The Guardsmen, from multiple units of the 81st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, will support Enhanced Forward Presence, one of four multinational battalion-size battle groups stationed in Eastern Europe.
The battalion-size battlegroups, led by the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and the United States, are meant to demonstrate the strength of the transatlantic bond, and make clear that an attack on one ally would be considered an attack on the whole alliance.
