More than 100 troops said goodbye to their families this weekend as they head to Iraq. 

The 72nd Military Police Company from Nevada left the Henderson Armory Saturday night.

120 soldiers will head to Iraq after several weeks of training at Fort Dix, New Jersey.

This is the 72nd Military Police Company's third deployment since the September 11th attacks.

Some who left this weekend actually served in Iraq when the unit first supported operation Iraqi Freedom four years ago.

The troops are expected to be in Iraq for a year.
