WILLIAMSBURG Va. -- Over 500 Naval Reservists from Naval Expeditionary Logistics Support Force (NAVELSF) departed Norfolk, Va., in mid-February for Kuwait and Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom II. The Sailors are a part of what is being called the largest troop rotation since World War II.

NAVELSF assets are being deployed to meet joint military requirements as part of DoD's scheduled force rotation. Since mid-January, members of the NAVELSF have been training at several locations throughout Virginia, using the same type of equipment used on their deployment.
