BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Sixty-seven members of the Idaho Army National Guard's 2nd Squadron of the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team have re-enlisted - a record number for the squadron.

Guard officials say the ceremony Sunday night was the single largest re-enlistment in the history of the squadron.

The 116th was notified by the Department of Defense in September that soldiers need to get ready for possible deployment in support of overseas operations, though no mobilization order has been given yet.

Sgt. Wayne Joyner of Caldwell says he re-enlisted to pass on his experience to younger troops.
