Alabama Guard unit returns home from year-long deployment

Symbols Change, Legacies live On

In 2024, the 31st Chemical Brigade retired it's iconic Double D patch. The 107-year old historic icon was known around the world. Although this marks the closing chapter for this symbol, the legacy of service and commitment will continue for the Soldier's of the 31st under a new symbol.
