Gov. Scott Walker and senior Wisconsin National Guard leaders joined families and friends in welcoming the Wisconsin Army National Guard’s 32nd Military Police Company back to Wisconsin after a nine-month deployment to U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. There the Soldiers served as part of a battalion assigned to various responsibilities in secure detention facilities, ensuring the safe, humane, and transparent care and custody for more than 45 law-of-war detainees at the Defense Department’s only strategic detention operations facility. During the course of their deployment, the 32nd MP Soldiers also conducted custody transfer of more than 20 detainees, in accordance with presidential executive orders.
