Deployed engineers return home
MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho -- Staff Sgt. Brent Rice reunites with his daughter, Kayden, after the sergeant and other members of the 366th Civil Engineer Squadron returned here May 8 after a nearly seven-month deployment to the Middle East. The base welcomed home 35 members from the squadron, who served at forward operating locations in Iraq and Afghanistan to build new work centers and living quarters and expand these bases to accommodate additional forces arriving in the region as part of the U.S. military’s ongoing troop surge.
