More than 100 soldiers from the Maine Army National Guard’s B Company have returned home from a 10-month deployment to Africa.

WABI-TV reports that senior leaders greeted the soldiers on the flight line Saturday in Bangor before they marched in to music from the 195th Maine Army National Guard Band, and the waiting arms of family.

The 130 soldiers worked to provide security and enhance partnerships in the Horn of Africa region.

They were part of 1,000 soldiers from Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Colorado.
