HEADED TO IRAQ:

About 100 West Michigan Army Reservists left Thursday morning for their mission in Iraq.

They're members of the 415th Civil Affairs Batallion out of Kalamazoo.

They're scheduled to be there for a year.

Meanwhile: Army prioritizing 37,000 GIs for first combat tours

Over 40% of the active duty (not Reserve or Guard) US Army has never deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan.
