JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. - About 100 soldiers from the 62nd CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear) Company will be reunited with friends and families at a "welcome home" ceremony currently scheduled for 9:00 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 16 at Wilson Gym on JBLM Lewis-North.
The unit deployed in January 2009 for a one-year deployment to Kuwait in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn.
While deployed, the 62nd CBRN Co. provided Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear (CBRN) response capability, and trained coalition forces in CBRN response. The unit also participated in Joint US military training and exercises, assisted in force protection and security missions for the area of operations, and escorted Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles and other sensitive equipment being transported to Afghanistan via military aircraft.
