The 121st Field Artillery unit from Sussex, made up of nearly 80 soldiers, left Wisconsin Wednesday morning.
It's the first deployment for 51 of the soliders in the unit. They will focus on providing combat artillery fire support in Afghanistan.
The troops will go to Fort Bliss for a month for some training before heading overseas.
