JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. - Members of the 513th Transportation
Company will be reunited with their families at a ceremony currently
scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Wilson Recreation Center.
The 513th Transportation Company deployed to Iraq in February 2009. The
company operated from Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, where it supported the
movement of supplies north into Iraq and assisted in one of the largest
and fastest military retrogrades of equipment in history. The unit was
responsible for more than three million miles traveled on the roads of
Iraq and supplied all areas of the theater and most classes of supply
for U.S. Forces in Iraq.
The "Roadrunner Warriors" were part of the Joint Logistics Task Force
57, which consisted of both U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force transportation
and maintenance units. The unit also took part in moving ammunition
within Kuwait in order to assist in the resupply of forces in
Afghanistan.
