SunHerald.com : Nearly 850 Miss. Guard soldiers put on alert, could be mobilized: "JACKSON --
Members of at least six Mississippi Army National Guard units, including two from Gulfport, have been told they might be mobilized for duty in the Middle East, military leaders say.

'We've got about 850 soldiers that have been alerted in various units throughout the state,' said Maj. Gen. Harold A. Cross, Mississippi's adjutant general. 'The alert order means to get ready... It stabilizes the unit and gets them prepared to be mobilized.'"
