GREENVILLE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The second group of Wisconsin soldiers are returning home after a nearly yearlong mobilization in the Middle East.
The second and final group of soldiers assigned to the 1st Battalion, 121st Field Artillery Regiment was formally recognized Tuesday as the remaining members returned to the Appleton Flight Center.
The first group returned home Sept. 25.
The 1-121st FA, Wisconsin Army National Guard, is headquartered in Oak Creek and includes Battery A in Hartford, Battery B in Two Rivers, and the 108th Forward Support Company in Sussex. The battalion is part of the 157th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, based in Milwaukee. Its equipment has evolved from the M109 howitzer to the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System in 2003 and, since 2010, the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System.
