Prayers for the 27th BCT
The 27th Brigade Combat Team is currently deployed in Afghanistan for Operation Phoenix VII. While we support and pray for the 27th as a whole we have a special relationship with the 1/69 and the 2/108 through our work together. We have worked with the 2/108 on the CERFP task force for many years now and we not only share a home with the 1/69 but we have worked together on many occasions. These soldiers and their families are in our prayers. Check for updates on this deployment on the 27th BCT website
