A welcome home ceremony is scheduled for the South Dakota Army National Guard’s Detachment 1, Company B, 1/112th Aviation on Saturday (Feb. 10, 2024) at 10am. The event is being held at the Aviation Readiness Center located next to the Rapid City Regional Airport (4750 Guard Road, Rapid City).
The public is encouraged to attend the event as over 20 Soldiers with the Rapid City-based unit returns from a year-long federal deployment in support of Southwest Border Operations. The 112th Aviation was split between two separate locations and provided aerial surveillance and support to Customs and Border Patrol agents.
Planned speakers for the ceremony include Gov. Kristi Noem, Maj. Gen. (SD) Mark Morrell, SDNG adjutant general, and Capt. Quincy Oliver, 112th Commander.
The Soldiers were deployed from October 2022 through October 2023.
