Cheyenne, WY – The Wyoming National Guard invites media representatives to cover the second of two groups of redeploying Soldiers assigned to 2nd Battalion, 300th Field Artillery Regiment. Details are further below.
The 2-300th deployed last summer to several Middle Eastern countries to support Operations Spartan Shield and Inherent Resolve.
This deployment marked their eighth deployment in the past 20 years. While earlier deployments for the command typically saw only portions of the unit depart, this mission represented the first time the battalion had deployed as an entire command for a field artillery mission since the Korean War.
Overall, more than 360 2-300th Soldiers deployed, representing batteries headquartered in the Wyoming communities of Torrington, Gillette, Lander and Casper.
Returning 2-300th Soldiers will be greeted by senior WY National Guard and government leadership on the tarmac as they debark the aircraft at the Casper-Natrona County International Airport before departing for home with their families and loved ones.
