The first group of 1,000 Afghanistan evacuees will arrive at CampAtterbury as soon as this week.

Their stay is expected to last at least 14 days, but 9 weeks or less.

Brig. Gen. Dale Lyles, Indiana National Guard adjutant general, says Atterbury is a site prepared to handle such a task.

Camp Atterbury joins Fort Pickett, Marine Corps Base Quantico and Fort Lee in Va.; Fort Bliss, Texas; Fort McCoy, Wis.; Holloman Air Force Base, N.M.; and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in N.J. to provide temporary housing and support for up to 50,000 Afghans.

Brigadier Gen Lyles talks about the process of moving evacuees to Johnson County.

Camp Atterbury is expected to host as many as 5000 evacuees.
