Defense Department announcement
Army Staff Sgt. James D. Infanger has been mobilized and activated for a future deployment to an undisclosed overseas location in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Defense Department announced today.
In 1999, Infanger graduated from Huntington High School. He is the son of Daniel J. Infanger of Eisenhower Circle, Hoffman Estates, Ill., and Laura M. Infanger of Fairmont St., Huntington.
Operation Iraqi Freedom is the official name given to military operations involving members of the U.S. armed forces and coalition forces participating in efforts to free and secure Iraq. Mission objectives focus on force protection, peacekeeping, stabilization, security and counter-insurgency operations as the Iraqi transitional governing bodies assume full sovereign powers to govern the peoples of Iraq.
Members from all branches of the U.S. military and multinational forces are also assisting in rebuilding Iraq's economic and governmental infrastructure, and training and preparing Iraqi military and security forces to assume full authority and responsibility in defending and preserving Iraq's sovereignty and independence as a democracy.
Infanger, a platoon sergeant, is normally assigned to the 1st Battalion, 158th Calvary, Easton, Md. The sergeant has six years of military service.
