Task Force Red Dragon Soldiers from the Virginia Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment have been sharpening their skills during pre-deployment training on the Fort Bliss Training Complex recently. Fort Bliss is the largest Mobilization Force Generation Installation in the Army, supporting current unit and individual mobilizing and demobilizing missions. Virginia units from Bedford, Charlottesville, Lexington, Pulaski and Suffolk, as well as a Kentucky National Guard unit from Somerset, Kentucky, are mobilizing as Task Force Red Dragon under the command of the Lynchburg-based 1st Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, to provide a security force in support of Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa. It is the largest VNG single-unit mobilization since World War II.
