The headquarters unit of the Army's 10th Mountain Division will head to Afghanistan in the spring as part of a regular troop rotation, even as the U.S. prepares for a possible major withdrawal of forces, the Army announced this month.
"This historic division continues to be the most deployed in the Army and we are honored to be part of the global coalition in support of Operation Freedom Sentinel," Maj. Gen. Brian Mennes, commander of the 10th Mountain, based at Fort Drum, New York, said in a statement.
The headquarters unit of about 250 soldiers will follow on the arrival of about 3,500 troops from the 10th Mountain's 1st BCT. That unit is expected to move into place in late winter.
