JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. - Members of the 47th Combat Support
Hospital will be reunited with their families at a ceremony currently
scheduled for 11 p.m. Friday at Soldiers Field House.
The 47th Combat Support Hospital deployed to Iraq in February 2009. Upon
arrival, the unit assumed control of the 1st Forward Surgical Medical
Detachment, operating three Level III hospitals near the cities of
Tikrit, Mosul, and Al Asad- providing surgical, nursing, and ancillary
care to military personnel throughout the northern and western portions
of the Iraqi theater of operations.
While deployed, 47th CSH personnel conducted 57,000 patient evaluations
or procedures, hosted the first-ever web-based tele-medicine consult
between its Mosul-based hospital and Brooke Army Medical Center in San
Antonio, Texas, and conducted clinical training with Iraqi military
forces, and at the Tikrit Teaching Hospital.

OPSEC! Troop movement details should not be published anywhere! Why is the exact date and time of homecoming on this website? Come on, people!

Yes, thanks for the concern. We NEVER print troop movements until they are officially released by Joint Base Lewis-McChord or the DoD (DA), etc... A release like this one is standard and only comes out one day before they touch down in the NW because they are long out of the war zone.
