Grieving family members and military officials gathered on the tarmac at CFB Trenton as the plane landed. Caswell, 25, died Monday while riding in a combat patrol vehicle that hit a roadside bomb about 40 kilometres north of Kandahar.
He was scheduled to return home in just six weeks.
Caswell was deployed with the Reconnaissance Squadron from the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment battle group.
