A ceremony will be at approximately 9:45 a.m. at the Salina Airport. Doors will open at 8 a.m.
The returning soliders served as logistical support for American and Coalition forces in Iraq.
The Wichita-based brigade also includes the 169th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, headquartered in Olathe, and the 891st Engineer Battalion, headquartered in Iola.
