Over 200 Nevada families have been reunited.

The 17th Sustainment Brigade of the Nevada Army National Guard returned from a 10-month deployment in the Middle East, and more than 200 soldiers were able to go home.

30 soldiers from the Las Vegas-based unit are from the Reno area and touched down at Reno-Tahoe International Airport on Saturday.

Nevada Army National Guard Commander Randy Lau says it's great to have everyone back home.

"[It's] a very exciting day for the Nevada National Guard, for the state of Nevada, and the United States of America," Commander Lau says.

Chief Warrant Officer 2 Juan Sanchez-Juarez says he was overwhelmed with emotion when he saw his family again.

"As soon as I came over down that escalator," CW2 Sanchez-Juarez says, "just seeing them right there, I felt the world. I felt complete. I felt home."

He says his first goal is to make up for missed time.

"[We'll] go home and enjoy some family time," CW2 Sanches-Juarez says," Be together. Probably get some sushi, I don't know."

The 17th SB completed over 300 missions in 21 countries, providing support to other units. They helped move over 1 million kilograms of weapons & equipment, 900,000 cases of bottled water, and 13 million pounds of mail.

Roughly 70% of these soldiers returned from their first deployment. 

As Major Samuel Delaney descended the steps at RNO, his three daughters and one son ran up to him, screaming "Daddy!" as they gave him a big hug. Major Delaney says his first order of business is seeing his house again.

"Just getting home is going to be nice," he says, "seeing some familiar territory again."

One of Major Delaney's daughters says she's excited and overjoyed that her father is back home, and that he won't be going on any long departures any time soon.

"The [best] part is that he's not going to be gone for that long anymore," she says.

For the soldiers coming home to the Silver State, reintegration is an important part of the process.

Commander Lau says now is the time for the soldiers to get back to their "new normal."

"There's going to be a lot of anxiety, a lot of excitement," Commander Lau says, "a lot of getting to know each other again."
