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.
