The 2014 deployment of the Georgia National Guard’s 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team ended with the ‘Task Force Volunteers’ giving the mission in Afghanistan closure.
For more than 12-years the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) has maintained command and control of a base cluster comprised of Camps Eggers, Phoenix, and Bala Hissar. The Kabul headquarters served as a hub for small training camps and out posts during the coalition’s train and assist mission. As Americans and their allies remembered the tragedy of Sept. 11, the last of the Macon-based Volunteers officiated the signing ceremony returning operational ownership to the people of that country in partnership with Afghan military forces.
The 48th Infantry Brigade is one of the oldest in U.S. Army history and traces its lineage back to 1825 seeing combat in the Second Seminole War, the Civil War and World Wars I and II to name a few. The 200 members who have been deployed since December 2013 were part of the finalization of operations in the region effectively ending the war in Afghanistan.
