DUTY BOUND
In 2007 a company of mostly Yup’ik Eskimo soldiers from the 2nd Scout Battalion of Alaska’s Army National Guard were ordered on their first active duty deployment. Along with 400 of their comrades from communities across Alaska they traveled half way around the world in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Duty Bound follows these Eskimo warriors from their homes in the remote subarctic western region of Alaska on a year long tour of duty in the deserts of Northern Kuwait as part of the largest single overseas deployment of Alaska’s Army National Guard since World War Two.
