Nearly 300 soldiers from the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team will return from their deployment to Iraq next week. Officials expect the first flight of the main body to arrive at Eielson Air Force Base early next Tuesday morning. They will then be bused to Fort Wainwright to be reunited with their families.
The soldiers of the brigade conducted security operations in Iraq, and provided training for the Iraqi Army and Iraqi security forces. They left here last August.
