More than 200 South Carolina Army National Guard soldiers have returned home after a deployment to Washington, D.C., where they were stationed to provide security support. The soldiers served as part of a larger security force providing assistance to federal law enforcement agencies.
The deployment was part of a continuous, rotating mission to support security operations in the nation’s capital. The soldiers were tasked with providing security at key locations and assisting with traffic control and other support functions. Their mission was to ensure the safety of critical infrastructure and federal facilities.
The deployment lasted several months and demonstrated the Guard’s ability to respond to and support both state and national security needs.
The South Carolina National Guard is a key component of the state’s military readiness, providing a wide range of capabilities for both domestic and overseas missions.
