About 180 members of the Wisconsin National Guard’s Bravo Company, based in Plymouth, are scheduled to return home in mid-July after a yearlong tour of duty in Iraq, a military public affairs officer said Thursday.
"They got into theater, as we call it, in mid-July last year and we would normally expect their mission to be one year overseas, so that one year would be roughly mid-July 2007," said Lt. Col. Tim Donovan, Wisconsin Army and Air National Guard public affairs director. "We don’t have exact dates yet."
Bravo Company, which is part of the 121st Field Artillery Battalion of the National Guard based in Milwaukee, left April 22, 2006, for training at Camp Shelby near Hattiesburg, Miss., before going to Iraq.
The unit will go through a five-day demobilization process at a military facility in the United States, but outside of Wisconsin, before returning to the Plymouth Armory at 625 Sunset Drive, Donovan said.
