The Daily News Miner provides an update on the expected return of more 1/25 SBCT troops.

FAIRBANKS — About 1,000 soldiers from the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry will be returning to Fort Wainwright during the next four days.

But this group of soldiers returning from Iraq’s Diyala province after a year-long deployment will not have the same three days of leave that earlier groups had.

Effective with soldiers that returned Saturday, U.S. Army Alaska cut time with family to 12 hours. Returning soldiers then begin reintegration training, during which they are given mental and physical health evaluations.
