COLUMBIA, S.C. — The airline troubles that delayed the return from Afghanistan of members of South Carolina’s Army National Guard appear to be ironed out.
Guard spokesman Col. Pete Brooks said the entire 1,800-member unit should be back home by mid-May. So far, 500 have arrived. Those soldiers are either in Fort Bragg, N.C., or back in South Carolina. Earlier this month, a contracted airline’s bankruptcy got in the way of about 200 soldiers getting home on time.
