    Aaliyah Allen, daughter of Sgt. Donald Allen marches with Soldiers of the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment of Tennessee, Michigan and Kentucky Army National Guard to a Feb. 5 departure ceremony at Camp Shelby, Miss., for over 3,000 Soldiers of the 278th ACR marking its second deployment to Iraq, the first coming in 2004. Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen told the assembled soldiers, "Nothing humbles me more than to serve as your Commander in Chief." The National Guard men and women have been at Camp Shelby, Miss. since early December conducting specialized pre-deployment training. Also in attendance was Tennessee's Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Max Haston, and military dignitaries from across the country. The 278th ACR is the Tennessee National Guard's largest single unit, and the massive deployment affects 45 cities stretching tip-to-tip across Tennessee.
