The 467th Medical Detachment based in Madison is one of about eight combat-stress units operated by the Army Reserve, said Mike Alesch of McFarland, who retired as commander of the local detachment in 2006....Alesch said the small units are deployed to combat zones often close to the fighting to work with soldiers experiencing stress. "The majority of the unit members are from Wisconsin, but they're from all over the state," said Alesch, the retired supervisor of Dane County's Alternatives to Incarceration Program.
