News Tribune staff reporter Michael Gilbert has returned home to Tacoma after four months in Iraq with the Fort Lewis-based Stryker brigade.

Gilbert completed his assignment to cover the new brigade's deployment to Kuwait and its first few months of combat operations in Samarra, Balad and now in Mosul and across northern Iraq.

Stories and photographs wrapping up his stay as an embedded reporter with the brigade will be published soon. The News Tribune will also continue to cover the brigade's activities via e-mail and telephone interviews.

The brigade -- the first of its kind in the Army, built around the new Stryker vehicles -- is expected to remain in Iraq until November.
