MOORESVILLE, N.C. — One of the most productive well-drilling units that ever deployed to the Horn of Africa is returning to North Carolina.

The 1133rd Engineer Detachment of the North Carolina Army National Guard will hold a welcome home ceremony Saturday at Southside Baptist Church in Mooresville. The ceremony will honor the ten-man unit that deployed last year to Djibouti in the Horn of Africa.

The 1133rd completed five wells, repaired four, and installed two solar panel upgrades during its yearlong deployment. It also assisted with other humanitarian projects.
