Fort Campbell, KY. – (CLARKSVILLENOW) It was a very cold Thursday night at Campbell Army Airfield, but you could still feel the warmth in the air from family and friends as 111 soldiers with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team “STRIKE”, were welcomed home in a ceremony at Fort Campbell.

The soldiers were returning after a nine-month deployment to Iraq and other areas in Southwest Asia. Task Force Strike supported training, equipping and advising Iraqi security forces and supported intelligence and logistics operations along with base security.

Another flight carrying 2nd Brigade soldiers is scheduled to return this Sunday and the remaining members of “STRIKE” will be coming home over the next few weeks.
