JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. - About 100 soldiers assigned to the 22nd Military Police Battalion (Criminal Investigation Division) will be reunited with friends and families at a "welcome home" ceremony currently scheduled for 11:30 p.m. Saturday at Soldiers Field House on JBLM Main.

The 22nd Military Police Battalion (CID) deployed to Iraq in July 2009, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

For this deployment, the battalion was composed of a unique mix of individual agents (Soldiers) from twelve different installations Army-wide, plus multi-component units from four installations. All these consolidated together on Joint Base Lewis-McChord in June 2009 to integrate and train in preparation for the unit's year-long mission. 

The Headquarters and Headquarter Detachment, 22nd Military Police Detachment (CID), the only active component unit from JBLM, was headquartered at Camp Victory, Baghdad, with forward elements located at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait and Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan. The 315th Military Police Detachment (CID), a Reserve Component unit headquartered on JBLM, also provided investigative support.

The primary mission of the United States Army Criminal Investigations Command (USACIDC) is to investigate reports of felony crimes committed with Department of Defense interest, felony crimes committed by and / or against Soldiers and / or civilians in the Army's charge, and all accidental or unexplained deaths.
