The brigades, known as AABs, are specially configured Army units focused on training and mentoring Iraqi security forces. 

The new AABs are among seven brigade-size elements whose upcoming deployments were announced today. One brigade is going to Kuwait and two others to Afghanistan to replace redeploying forces, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told reporters. 

The LOSAP shall provide for fixed annual contributions to a deferred income account for each volunteer member that meets the criteria as follows:

Must attend 50 percent of fire calls, drills and training. Five years of required for vesting; and active with five or more of eligible prior service shall receive $1000 for 5 years, payable at the rate of $200 per year.

Donations are needed for the Bellmawr Scholarship Fund, Chairman Ron Henry said recently.

Whereas in past years the fund is approximately between $4,000 to $6,000, Henry said the coffers are presently at roughly 25 percent of that number.

Local businesses are solicited for donations to the fund, which awards annual scholarships to graduating high school seniors, based on certain criteria, including Grade Point Averages (GPA’s) and SAT scores.
