JACKSONVILLE, N.C. — A South Carolina-based Reserve company will head to California next month to begin preparing for a seven-month tour in Iraq.

Fox Company, 4th Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 4th Marine Division will be mobilized April 21, said 1st Sgt. Anthony Page. The company of about 140 Marines will head west in May for Mojave Viper training at Twentynine Palms.

Fox Company will deploy to Anbar province in September with its light armored vehicles, Page said. The company will join other units from 1st LAR and take part in counter-insurgency operations in the province.

The company was last activated in June 2004 and deployed to Djibouti.
