III Corps Press Release
04 July 2003
Approximately 90 soldiers from the 62nd Engineer Battalion are scheduled to return to Fort Hood from Iraq during the afternoon of July 4 (Friday).
The soldiers from Company A of the 62nd Engineer Battalion, part of the 13th Corps Support Command, deployed from Fort Hood on Jan. 14 this year in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Family members and friends will meet the returning soldiers at the Abrams Physical Fitness Center at noon to welcome them back to Fort Hood.
In addition to other missions during the past six months, the 62nd Engineer Battalion has assisted in the building of the Inland Petroleum Distribution System. The IPDS is a lightweight, rapidly deployable pipeline and terminal system primarily used in underdeveloped areas of operation where it can interface with existing fuel sources, such as refineries, tanker farms, or the Navy's Offshore Petroleum Discharge System.
