About 240 soldiers from a U.S. Army Reserve unit based in Des Moines have received orders to return home in mid-April from a 10-month deployment to Iraq. The troops are members of a headquarters unit of the 103rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command of Fort Des Moines. They have been assigned to a nationwide logistics mission in Iraq, helping to supply 47,000 military service members and countless contractors as the United States proceeds with a drawn down of forces. A welcome home ceremony is planned, but a date has not been set.
