BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — About 70 North Dakota National Guard soldiers have returned to the United States after yearlong deployments overseas.
A release from the Guard says the soldiers, who are part of the 1-188th Air Defense Artillery Battalion based in Bismarck, arrived at Fort Hood in Texas on Sunday. They're expected back in North Dakota within a week.
The soldiers have spent the past year running radar systems to support operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The North Dakota Guard still has about a dozen members deployed around the world, the lowest number since the 2001 terrorist attacks.
