The first wave of engineers from Duluth's 148th Fighter Wing has left for Afghanistan.

About 90 members of the 148th will be deployed overseas until the middle of next year. The majority of those leaving are civil engineers. They'll serve for about six months at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.

The first group left Duluth on Thursday. They'll be followed by successive waves over the next two weeks.

At Bagram, the engineers will build or repair roads and runways, maintain buildings and provide utilities.
