BILLINGS - Members of the Montana National Guard's 143rd Military Police Company are back in Montana after a yearlong tour in Iraq.

The company, which is based in Livingston, was charged with keeping peace at the U.S. military's Victory Base in Baghdad.

The nearly four dozen soldiers spent a week demobilizing in Fort Lewis, Wash., before arriving in Montana on Saturday.
