The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have led to the largest call up of National Guardsmen and reservists since World War II. Large portions of these troops hail directly from North Carolina. For those citizen soldiers, being in the Guard and Reserve no longer means just two weeks a year and one weekend a month of service. Instead, it can mean repeated war-zone deployments that can last a year or more.

Focal Point: Citizen Soldier looks at the challenge their assignments create for their families and communities back home.
