Soldiers from the 1/25 SBCT are arriving home as well. The Daily News-Miner has a nice story and lots of photos.

FAIRBANKS — As dozens of family members of 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry soldiers gathered, the Fort Wainwright hangar remained quiet.

When the hangar doors opened about 45 minutes later and 160 troopers from the 1-25th came back to post following a yearlong deployment to Iraq’s Diyala province, the hangar erupted.
