**DAYTON, Ohio (AP)** — \\A former Ohio Army Reserve commander who was court-martialed for taking abandoned Army vehicles in Kuwait so her unit could carry out its mission in Iraq returned home Monday after serving a six-month sentence.<\/p>\n

Maj. Cathy Kaus defended the actions taken by herself and her fellow soldiers. She said she has applied for clemency.<\/p>\n

“What we did, we did at that time because we thought we needed to do that,” Kaus said at Dayton International Airport, adding that she would do it “all over again” if put in the same circumstances.<\/p>\n

Kaus, released Monday from a Navy brig in San Diego, said she was convicted of theft, willful neglect, abandonment and conspiracy of abandonment.<\/p>\n

She was among six Ohio reservists from the Springfield-based 656th Transportation Company who were court-martialed at a time when some U.S. troops in Iraq are complaining they have to scrounge for equipment.<\/p>\n

Members of the unit said they needed the equipment to deliver fuel to U.S. forces in Iraq for everything from helicopters to tanks.<\/p>\n

According to one of the reservists who was court-martialed, they took two tractor-trailers and stripped parts from a truck that had been abandoned in Kuwait by other units that had already moved into Iraq.\\<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
