Soldiers from Fort Campbell are returning home to the installation in southern Kentucky Friday after a nine-month long deployment to Afghanistan. The soldiers are from the 887th Engineer Support Company, 326th Engineer Battalion, 101st Sustainment Brigade, 101st Airborne Division.

Fort Campbell is holding suicide prevention training and other events this week as part of the Army's Suicide Prevention Month to educate soldiers, their families and civilians on how to spot the warning signs of suicide.

After years of taking the lead on the battlefield, Army leaders from Fort Campbell are learning how to take a backseat role when they return to Afghanistan this fall to serve as military advisers. About 1,900 troops from the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, will serve as a Security Force Assistance Brigade with a mission to prepare the Afghan security forces for the coming withdrawal of NATO troops.
