Soldiers from Fort Campbell—with the 101st Airborne Division Air Assault—are set to deploy from Fort Campbell to the U.S. Central Command.
According to a news release, they will replace the 10th Mountain Division’s Combat Aviation Brigade in a one-for one replacement as a part of the United States Army’s effort to pioneer the evolution of vertical envelopment with modern equipment and well-trained soldiers, and to prepare the nation to win in any future military combat environment or conflict.
Colonel Tyler Partridge, commander of the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade says, “The Wings of Destiny brigade is ready to answer the nation’s call. Our Soldiers work every day to expertly employ aircraft in support of the ground force, and we will continue to do so wherever the mission takes us.”
