They will be deploying to Kuwait as part of Task Force Spartan, it is not their first time: “The 29th ID is very familiar with the role they’re about to assume, having mobilized for the same mission a few years ago. More importantly, they’re building on the efforts of the two previous Army National Guard headquarters, who served as Task Force Spartan; the 42nd Infantry Division from the great State of New York, and the 36th ID from the great State of Texas.”-Colonel Jakob B. Larkowich, 188th Infantry Brigade Division East, Chief of Training for the 29th ID Culminating Training Exercise
