NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Army Reserve soldiers of the 320th Military Police Company based in St. Petersburg, Fla., will hold a departure ceremony Sunday, Oct. 21 as they prepare to deploy in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Members of the media and the general public are invited to attend the departure ceremony Sunday, Oct. 21 at 11 a.m. at the Army Reserve Medical Command Reserve Center, 2801 Grand Ave., Pinellas Park, Fla., 33782.
