The Illinois Army National Guard’s 634th Brigade Support Battalion Forward Logistics Element returned home on Saturday, Aug. 2, after supporting U.S. Special Operations Command Africa for approximately six months. 

The unit of a little more than a dozen Soldiers was divided into two teams during the deployment, with the majority, led by Maj. Donald Tucker of Mattoon, based in Africa, and the rest, led by 1st Sgt. Colton Love, stationed in Germany. Both teams traveled frequently, providing logistics wherever needed to support U.S. military operations on the African continent.
