After serving a year in Kuwait supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, approximately 65 Kansas National Guard soldiers of the 170th Support Maintenance Company were welcomed home Sunday, Dec. 23.
"To have these soldiers coming home just in time for Christmas is a wonderful present for their families," said Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, the adjutant general. "They did an outstanding job during their deployment and have certainly earned this time at home during the holidays."
While deployed, the unit operated a security detail mission for VIPs, American citizens and contractors in Kuwait, as well as supporting base security, as required. This was the first deployment for the 170th since Desert Storm.
The 170th Maintenance Company is a subordinate unit of the 287th Special Troop Battalion, Hays. They are headquartered in Norton, Kan., with a subordinate unit in Colby, Kan.
