The soldiers from the 488th Military Police Company departed from the Portland International Jetport on Monday.
They’ll be assisting U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Maine Gov. Janet Mills joined the soldiers at the airport, wishing them a safe deployment.
They’re replacing members of the 262nd Engineer Company who have been conducting a similar mission that concludes this fall.
