CAMP TAJI — After a long and often-times grueling year here, the 419th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion (CSSB) "Wolfpack" is on its way home.
Over the next few days, the Wolfpack Soldiers will see a Relief in Place/Transfer of Authority ceremony where they officially pass the torch to the 541st CSSB, as well as an awards ceremony where Soldiers will receive medals and certificates directly reflecting their job performance throughout this past year at war.
Though the Wolfpack is leaving behind some memories and confrontations better left in a war zone, the close knit relationships and fond memories of camaraderie will truly be missed.
Farewell and Godspeed, Wolfpack. And good luck to our brothers in arms, the 541st CSSB. Have a great year.
(13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) release)
Thank you, Wolfpack, and my prayers for your safe journey home.
