NEILLSVILLE UNIT ARRIVES HOME
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 -- 12:25 PM
More area soldiers are coming home today and, we understand, most of Neillsville?s unit is already home.We?ve been watching the press releases from the Department of Military Affairs closely, but haven?t seen an alert that Neillsville?s F-Company, 132nd Support Battalion was among the units that had arrived home yet, but Clark County Veterans Service Officer Clint Langreck says he understands most of the unit is already on the ground and in the process of demobilizing at Ft. McCoy.
Langreck plans to travel down to talk with the local troops Thursday.
Meanwhile, approximately 500 Soldiers from the Wisconsin Army National Guard's 32nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team will return to Volk Field on two flights today.
The first flight includes Soldiers mostly from the 32nd Military Police Company, Milwaukee and Oconomowoc; the 1158th Transportation Company, Beloit and Black River Falls; and some members of the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 32nd Brigade. The second flight includes Soldiers mostly from Troop B, 105th Cavalry, Watertown; Troop C, 105th Cavalry, Reedsburg; and some members of the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 32nd Brigade.
The entire brigade is returning to Wisconsin in stages throughout January. Soldiers will travel to nearby Fort McCoy to begin about five days of demobilization processing before being released from active duty.
