Alex Beall, an Oregon National Guard member who fought in the war in Afghanistan, is being deployed along with more than 100 fellow guard members to take on a different foe: A wildfire at the state's iconic Crater Lake. Beall, who is a FedEx driver from the city of Medford, said he preferred his combat deployment to firefighting. [...] after they return to domestic life, many miss the sense of urgency and purpose, the adrenaline-fueled rush and magnified experience of combat and the brotherhood among comrades in arms. The Oregon National Guard's agreement with the Oregon Department of Forestry, known as Operation Plan Smokey, details how national guard members assist in the state's annual firefighting efforts.
