4-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team To Uncase Colors on Wednesday at JBLM

Following a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan, the 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division will uncase its colors Wednesday to mark the unit's official return to Joint Base Lewis-McChord. 

To recognize the "Raiders" who gave their lives in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, the unit is also holding a rededication at JBLM’s Memorial Park following the uncasing ceremony.

The ceremony is scheduled for 10:30 a.m., at Watkins Field, Lewis Main.

During the deployment, the Raider Brigade was known as Combined Task Force 4-2 and was responsible for providing security force assistance to Afghan National Security Forces as they conducted wide-area security operations in Kandahar Province. CTF 4-2 also provided support to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan as it strengthened governance efforts to neutralize threats to stability, expanded security gains and facilitate the transition to follow-on forces.
