It was a day of celebration and congratulations on a job well done on Aug. 18, 2020, when 112 soldiers from the U.S. Army’s legendary 101st Airborne Division returned home to Fort Campbell after a three-month deployment in Djibouti, Africa.
As part of the East Africa Response Force (EARF), company commander Capt. John Bergman explained to Clarksville Now that their role consisted of “lots of training events, deployment exercises, and just maintaining our sharp edge to support any U.S. assets.”
