TF Atterbury: Wedding at Camp Atterbury
Operation Allies Welcome - Operation Allies Refuge
Oct. 9, 2021 | 1:57
Two Afghan personnel were married October 9, 2021 at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. The couples original wedding plans were put on hold so their family could evacuate Afghanistan. The Secretary of Defense has approved the Department of Defense, through U.S. Northern Command, to provide to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) temporary housing, sustainment, and support inside the United States for Afghan personnel. DoD will provide support for at least 50,000 individuals at suitable facilities, in permanent or temporary structures, as quickly as possible. Support will be provided on DoD installations and potentially at contracted non-DoD land and facilities.
