COLUMBIA (AP) -- The South Carolina legislator who sought a combat role in Afghanistan is returning to his state House desk next week.
Bennettsville Rep. Doug Jennings told the House Thursday that Columbia Rep. James Smith would be back home on Sunday.
Smith left for training and an Afghanistan tour 15 months ago as an Army National Guard captain. He returned briefly last year before heading to Afghanistan.
Smith joined the Army Reserve in 1996 as a lawyer and switched to the Army National Guard two years later. After the Sept. 11 terror attacks he decided to go back through basic training and move to the infantry.
