The likely yearlong deployment to Africa from Michael Haley will come as Haley campaigns for president.
The deployment, which will likely last through next spring, stretches through most of Haley’s primary campaign, according to the person familiar with the plans, who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. It is Michael Haley’s second active duty trip overseas after he served in Afghanistan’s Helmand province in 2013.
“Our family, like every military family, is ready to make personal sacrifices when our loved one answers the call,” said Nikki Haley. “We could not be prouder of Michael and his military brothers and sisters. Their commitment to protecting our freedom is a reminder of how blessed we are to live in America.”The South Carolina National Guard put out a call this spring to officers like Michael Haley, a major, to deploy to Africa. The story was first reported by the Associated Press.
