Dylan Walsh of Toms River, a fireteam leader with the Freehold-based First Battalion ofthe 114th Infantry, whose families and friends saw themoff in a ceremony Wednesday. “Everything we’ve doneover there seems to be falling apart.”
Some 462 soldiers are leaving today for 30 days oftraining at Fort Bliss, in the Texas and New Mexico des-ert, for the yearlong deployment. The battalion’s threecompanies will perform force protection, security, gate
