NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. — Members of the Rhode Island Air National Guard are about to deploy to Afghanistan.

The 29 members of the 143rd Airlift Wing are set to leave Sunday will help with air operations, including troop and cargo transport.

They’re just a portion of the roughly 130 Guard members expected to deploy to Afghanistan over the next several months.

The 143rd Airlift wing has deployed several times since 2003.

The Guard members will leave early Sunday morning from the Quonset National Guard Base in North Kingstown.
