Early Monday morning about 100 soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, returned to Fort Lewis after two months of raids to recover personnel and equipment.
In the afternoon 13 members of the 446th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, an Air Force Reserve unit of nurses and medical technicians, returned to neighboring McChord Air Force Base after caring for war casualties at an undisclosed location.

About 2,500 soldiers from Fort Lewis remain deployed in Iraq, along with about 1,200 personnel from McChord, 500 from Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane and about 560 each aboard the supply ships Bridge and Rainier, both based at Bremerton.
Also still on Middle East assignments are several EA-6B Prowler squadrons from the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, about 117 Coast Guard personnel Port Security Unit 313 in Tacoma and
