Thousands of Fort Jackson soldiers begin heading home for the holidays Fort Jackson officials began preparing for the two-week break back in October. (Source: WIS) By Caroline Coleburn | December 17, 2020 at 6:50 PM EST - Updated December 18 at 6:26 AM
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - There’s no place like home for the holidays and, Thursday afternoon, hundreds of Fort Jackson soldiers and trainees left the base and headed to Columbia Metropolitan Airport to start the journey home to their families for Christmas.
The annual Victory Block Leave is a little different this year due to the pandemic. Fort Jackson officials began preparing for the two-week break back in October. Unlike past years where all of the soldiers pack the airport over the span of 24 to 48 hours, this year, their departure times are staggered over the course of six days.
