Marines and sailors with 3rd Combat Engineer Battalion’s main body returned home to the combat center Oct. 28. The Marines and sailors were deployed to Afghanistan for seven months. Families and friends waited eagerly at the supply company’s motor transport lot to welcome the marines and sailors. “It’s been seven months of sacrifice and support and now it time to have their loved ones home,” said Erika Capistran, family readiness officer, 3rd CEB. The mission of 3rd CEB is to provide mobility, counter-mobility, survivability, and limited general engineering support. “We’re a family not just a battalion, it’s not just Marines, its brothers and sisters and I feel honored to be a part of that,” Capistran said. After multiple deployments, 3rd CEB can now begin the transitioning process into their deactivation scheduled for this summer.
