29th ID soldiers return to Virginia after duty in Afghanistan

Family, friends and fellow members of the Virginia National Guard greet soldiers from the Fort Belvoir-based 29th Infantry Division at Richmond International Airport, Oct. 27, as the Soldiers return home after serving in Afghanistan since early December 2010. Approximately 72 Virginia and Maryland National Guard soldiers returned to the United States, Oct. 20, and completed health screenings and administrative tasks at Camp Atterbury, Ind., to transition from active duty back to National Guard status and returned to airports close to their home of record Thursday morning. The soldiers were assigned to NATO's International Security Assistance Force Joint Command Security Partnering Team with the mission of assisting with the growth and development of the Afghan National Security Forces where they served as advisors and mentors to senior Afghan leaders.
