LITCHFIELD — Nearly 90 Minnesota National Guard members return home after an 11-month deployment to Afghanistan.
A homecoming ceremony will be held Tuesday for the 849th Mobility Augmentation Company, based in Litchfield. The unit cleared explosives from supply routes in support of the Afghan National Security Forces. The company had an important role in this year’s Afghan presidential elections by helping establish a voter polling site.
