Kentucky Air Guardsmen deploy to support missions in Afghanistan as part of Operation Freedom's Sentinel
Matt Selph, director of the Kentucky Board of Elections, speaks to more than 40 members of the 123rd Airlift Wing at the Kentucky Air National Guard Base in Louisville, Ky., April 24, 2015, prior to the Airmen's deployment to an undisclosed air base in the Persian Gulf region. The troops, who left aboard a Kentucky Air Guard C-130 Hercules aircraft, comprise the third rotation of 123rd Airmen to deploy to the base since February. The Air Guardsmen will be flying airlift missions throughout the U.S. Central Command Area of Responsibility in support of Operation Freedom's Sentinel, which provides military training and counterterrorism capabilities in Afghanistan.
