TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - May 22, 2009 A plane carrying nearly 400 members of the Guard's 50th Infantry
Brigade Combat Team is scheduled to arrive Monday morning at
McGuire Air Force Base in Burlington County.
The soldiers are the first to return from the largest overseas
deployment of the New Jersey National Guard since World War II.
Some 2,800 members of the brigade have been in Iraq since
September - some posted in Baghdad, others on prison camp guard
duty in southern Iraq.
The remaining New Jersey Guard troops are scheduled to arrive
home on a series of flights over the next two weeks.
