BAMBERG, Germany (March 12, 2013) -- "This company has done more than its fair share in this fight. Over the past five years, this company has deployed to combat three times," said Lt. Col. Thomas Austin, 54th Engineer Battalion commander during the deployment ceremony, which was held March 8. "Their mission is to clear the roads and trails of the greatest killer in this war - the improvised explosive device."

Family members and comrades bid the deploying Soldiers farewell. The 541st Engineer Company is one of the last units that will deploy from U.S. Army Garrison Bamberg.
