Guard Soldiers Honored at Deployment Ceremony

MARCH 16, 2026 – About 150 Soldiers with the Pennsylvania National Guard’s 131st Transportation Company, 228th Motor Transportation Battalion, 213th Regional Support Group were honored during a March 14 deployment ceremony at the Zembo Shrine.

Family members, loved ones, friends and past members of the unit also were recognized alongside the deploying Soldiers and thanked for their love and support.

The unit has been preparing for the past 18 months to depart on its mission, completing rigorous training to ensure its readiness for the road ahead. Overseas, the 131st Transportation Company will provide critical logistical support to the Operation Atlantic Resolve mission by delivering equipment and supplies throughout the U.S. Army Europe and Africa area of operation.

“These Soldiers’ dedication has been unwavering, marked by long hours and meticulous effort to ensure both their skills and their equipment were brought to the highest state of readiness,” said Capt. Jason Hadley, commander of the 131st Transportation Company. “I commend each of you for your exceptional attitude and commitment to the mission.”

Col. Jeremy Coleman, commander of the 213th Regional Support Group, and Lt. Col. Deborah Fisher, commander of the 228th Motor Transportation Battalion, both shared words of encouragement for the deploying Soldiers and their loved ones.

“Thank you to each service member and to every family member here today for your profound willingness to answer the call both here and across the sea,” Coleman said.

Generations of Soldiers with the 131st Transportation Company have served overseas in support of other missions, including during the Korean War, Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
