More than 400 soldiers of the 1-151st Attack Reconnaissance Battalion, South Carolina National Guard, reunited with family and friends after a seven-month deployment to Iraq and Kuwait, April 27, 2012. The 1-151st ARB conducted the final Attack Weapons Team mission of Operation New Dawn in Iraq in December as the last of the U.S. Forces crossed the border from Iraq to Kuwait. While in Kuwait, the 1-151st ARB flew reconnaissance missions off the Kuwaiti coastline and also formed a partnership with the Kuwait air force.
