Marines and sailors with, 3/4, or “Darkside,” returned to the Combat Center after a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
“It’s great to be back,” said Maj. Michael Cable, executive officer, 3/4. “Our main job in Afghanistan was security forces assistance. The Afghans have been taking the lead and we’ve been helping enable them. We had a really good group of guys with us.”
This will be the last set of homecomings for the battalion as 3/4 is slated to deactivate sometime next year. The rest of battalion will be returning home in the coming weeks.
