Some recent-ish history of the Red Arrows
Brief History of the ‘Red Arrow’From the 32D Division to the 32D Infantry Brigade Combat Team
"On 24 January 2010 the last Soldiers of the Wisconsin Army National Guard’s 32D ‘Red Arrow’ Infantry Brigade Combat Team landed at Volk Field, WI, after completing their deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The units returned to Wisconsin at staggered intervals beginning on 5 January. After mobilizing on 1 February 2009, the units deployed to Iraq at staggered intervals in April and May following about two months of training at Fort Bliss, TX."
"The Brigade was tasked with a variety of missions throughout Iraq which included forward operating base administration, base defense, area security, quick reaction forces, freedom of movement security support, detainee guard force operations at theater internment facilities, closing the largest internment facility in Iraq, transferring detainees, operating an academy to train Iraqi corrections officers, inspecting detention facilities, securing and administering the International Zone in Baghdad, and turning over U.S.-controlled properties back the government of Iraq."
