The second and final detachment of the Nebraska Army National Guard’s 1057th Military Police Company to be deployed to Kuwait has returned home after 9 months. The 1057th is headquartered in Chadron.
The 58 men and women of the unit’s Team 2 had a welcoming ceremony Thursday in a hangar at the Scottsbluff airport after completing their stateside debriefing following their deployment with the Pentagon’s Central Command Theater of Operations.
Major General Daryl Bohac, Adjutant General of the Nebraska National Guard, congratulated the soldiers for a job well-done and for the way they built on the work by the 1057’s Team 1, which they replaced.
General Bohac told Captain Grant Hewitt of Omaha, who led Team 2, that they had “performed phenomenally well” and that there was no doubt in his mind that there were “misty eyes” on their departure among the rest of the forces at the camp in Kuwait.
Bohac said it was because of the way the 1057th performed delivered the mission day in and day out, adding that he had no doubt the team performed “as if ‘Nebraska’ was emblazoned upon your chest each and every day.”
Welcome Home. Thank you for your representation of Nebraska to the people of Kuwait and protecting our troops stationed there.
