148th Brigade Support Battalion, Company G, comes home from yearlong deployment to Afghanistan

HUNTER AIRFIELD, Savannah, Ga., March 21, 2010 – Specialist Michael Logan, (carrying the flag), an All Wheel Mechanic from Brunswick’s 148th Brigade Support Battalion, Company G, exits his plane after returning to the U.S. from his tour in Afghanistan. Logan, who lives in St. Mary’s, is a sales associate at Wal-Mart and is among more than 120 citizen Soldiers of Georgia’s 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) who spent the past year supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. The brigade’s mission was to train and mentor the Afghan National army and Afghan National Police. For some members of the 48th, though, that mission changed to one of “full spectrum operations”, whereby they and their Afghan counterparts took the fight directly to the Taliban. Now that they’re home, it will take Logan and his fellow Guardsmen about two weeks to be released from active duty and return to traditional Guard status.
