FORT RILEY -Early Monday morning more than 100 Soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division Sustainment Brigade returned to Kansas from a nine-month deployment to Kuwait. The unit departed Fort Riley in June 2015.

While deployed, the brigade’s Soldiers were responsible for planning, oversight and resources for troops in five countries and 13 locations, according to a social media report.

The brigade supported Operation Inherent Resolve and provided sustainment support to U.S. Central Command across its area of responsibility.

The first group of 1st Inf. Div. Sustainment Brigade Soldiers returned to Fort Riley on Feb. 22 and all are expected to be home by the end of this month.
