A ceremony is scheduled tomorrow at Wheeler Army Air Field for 260 soldiers assigned to the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade who are returning from Iraq.

The homecoming ceremony is planned for 12:40 p.m. but is subject to change, according to an Army news release.

Since July 2006, the brigade has deployed 2,400 soldiers to Iraq for aviation combat, combat support and combat service support missions. The homecoming tomorrow marks the beginning of the brigade's return to Schofield Barracks.
