Members of the 106th Aviation Regiment are being called to active duty this spring for a tour in Kosovo.

About 150 Soldiers with the 106th will mobilize this Sunday.

The 106th will deploy from its Peoria, Decatur and Chicago locations.

The task force is one of five multi-national brigade-sized elements that make up the NATO- led force providing stability to Kosovo.

Thirty-six nations are part of the effort.

Many of these soldiers were with the 106th Aviation when the unit conducted air movement operations in Iraq between 2003 and 2004.
