The holiday season just got a little brighter as hundreds of Fort Campbell soldiers are expected to return in the coming weeks from Afghanistan.

Another group of soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division’s 2nd Brigade Combat Team are scheduled to return tomorrow, with family and friends anxiously awaiting their arrival.

Lieutenant Colonel Townley Hedrick with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team says words can not describe the feeling when soldiers return safely from their deployments.



Lieutenant Colonel Hedrick says his soldiers served as advisors to their Afghan counterparts and accomplished each mission they were tasked to do over the course of nine-months



Soldiers from the brigade were the International Security Assistance Force’s lead units in facilitating the transition of full combat power to the Afghan National Security Forces in Regional Command East.
