Members of the 200th Engineering Company are to come home the second week of May. According to media reports that members of the unit's Family Support Group plan to decorate the two cities with yellow ribbons to welcome the soldiers home.

The 200th is based in Pierre with detachments in Mobridge and Chamberlain. It has about 180 soldiers. They deployed last May for a yearlong mission of bridge work.
