SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii, Sept. 29, 2005 — U.S. Army soldiers assigned to the 536th Maintenance Company (Direct Support) arrived home recently after a year long deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The troops were welcomed home by family members holding signs with various greetings, including "We've missed you! Welcome Home! I love you and we're proud of you!"

Thunderous applause filled the gymnasium as the soldiers marched inside for their redeployment ceremony. [...]

During 536th Maintenance Company's deployment, the company was in direct support of 1st Corps Support Command and Task Force Freedom 3rd Amour Calvary Regiment and 1st Battalion, 25th Stryker Brigade Combat Team.

The mission consisted of several tasks, including convoying more than 300,000 miles and completing over 4,000 of their direct support maintenance jobs, conducting approximately 60 maintenance support missions. The 536th Maintenance Company also helped to escort more than 32,000 civilian supply trucks.
