Army Reservists Called Back into Active Duty

The Army said today that 115 Reservists in northern New England, including 17 Vermonters, may be called back into active duty starting next week. Those who are called up could be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan for a tour of duty lasting 18 months to two years. Most of the Reservists affected by the call-up have specialties that are in demand, such as truck drivers, mechanics and combat engineers.
