More than 200 Marines from the Camp Lejeune-based Bravo Company, 2nd Transportation Support Battalion - a unit of military truck drivers, mechanics, and heavy equipment operators ? are returning to North Carolina this month. The unit arrived in Iraq last summer for duty with the Camp Pendleton-based 1st Force Service Support Group. The first of Bravo Co.?s seven platoons ? Maintenance Platoon ? left two days ago for Kuwait, where they will spend several days before flying back to the States. As Bravo Co.?s Marines are leaving, thousands more from Camp Lejeune, such as 2nd Maintenance Battalion, are just arriving. The 1st FSSG is being replaced by Marines and Sailors from the 2nd Force Service Support Group, as part of a regularly scheduled changeover of Marine forces.
