FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) - Paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division are beginning to return to their North Carolina Army post after more than a month in earthquake-stricken Haiti.
The Fayetteville Observer reported that more than 400 soldiers were due to return to Fort Bragg on Thursday.
The unit of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team will be the first 82nd Airborne Division troops to return from Haiti. The 2nd Brigade has been one of the division's most frequently deployed units.
About 3,500 Fort Bragg soldiers flew to Haiti to help in recovery efforts after the massive earthquake on Jan. 12 that killed an estimated 200,000 people.
Soldiers helped provide security for groups distributing food and shelter. Army medics treated injured Haitians.
