Major General Patrick A. Murphy, the Adjutant General, announced the recent reenlistment of members of the New York Army National Guard in recognition of their continuing commitment to serve community, state and nation as part of the Army National Guard.
Sergeant Michael Defreze from Batavia has reenlisted to continue service with the 152nd Engineer Support Company.
"Over the past three years, the New York Army National Guard has come from far below authorized strength to 100-percent strength," Murphy said. "Our priority is to provide ready forces for both state and federal missions and readiness starts with maintaining our strength.
"We have more than 16,000 men and women in the Army and Air National Guard with each individual member having an important role."
