About 400 members of the Massachusetts National Guard will be leaving this weekend for Washington to provide public-safety support to the state, and federal agencies in the region.

This phase of the federally funded mission will be lasting for 10 weeks. around 600 personnel were previously deployed and have returned home on Feb. 22.
