Second Wave
of Soldiers Return from Operation Iraqi Freedom |
|
Battery E (Target Acquisition), 139th Field Artillery |
|
|
|
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Indiana Soldiers
are scheduled to arrive home Friday
morning after completing missions overseas. |
|
Maj. Gen. R. Martin Umbarger, the
Adjutant General for Indiana, received notification that 17
Indiana National Guard Soldiers of the 38th Infantry Division's
Division Artillery's will arrive at the Indianapolis
International Airport at approximately 10 a.m., on January 27th. |
|
These Soldiers belong to Battery
E (Target Acquisition), 139th Field
Artillery headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Soldiers
have recently demobilized through Fort Sill, Oklahoma and will
be on leave until their official release from
active duty sometime in February/March 2006. This is the final
element of the unit to return home, which stayed behind to hand
off their equipment to another unit. The majority of the unit
returned back in December 2005. |
|
During their deployment, the
mission for this unit was to detect, locate and identify enemy
elements and forces though military radar detection
systems within their area of operations. |
|
The media are invited to cover
the return in Concourses B-C at the Indianapolis International
Airport, where family and friends are expected to greet the
returning soldiers. |
|
We are indebted to these citizen
soldiers and their families for the
sacrifices they made for our state and nation and are very happy
for their safe return. |
