About 300 Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldiers returned home early Wednesday as the season of large homecomings began in earnest.
In March, the base began welcoming back the first of about 18,000 soldiers who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan last year.
The soldiers who returned Wednesday are from two infantry battalions of the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, which is completing its third tour in Iraq.
