BISMARCK, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Eleven members of the North Dakota Army National Guard’s 191st Military Police Company will return home to North Dakota today after serving on a nearly year long mission in Afghanistan.

Most of the unit’s Soldiers returned home last month.

Media representatives and the public are invited to greet the returning Soldiers. Because Soldiers will be traveling individually on commercial flights, changes are possible. Any changes that we are aware of, will be posted at our Facebook (NDNG) page.

The unit is led by Capt. John Mazur, of Pingree, North Dakota, and the senior noncommissioned officer-in-charge, Sgt. 1st Class Cody Johnson, of Menoken, North Dakota. Nearly half the unit has served on previous North Dakota National Guard deployments.

Members of the 191st Military Police Company provided protective service detail and secure transportation to Resolute Support Headquarters staff while assigned to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Afghanistan. The Soldiers hail from 20 communities across North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota.
