Fort Bragg Soldiers Return Home After Secretive Africa Mission
Fort Bragg 600x400
The Fayetteville Observer, N.C. | Feb 13, 2017 | by Drew Brooks
More than 80 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division quietly deployed in late September.
Unlike most missions undertaken by conventional Army forces, this one came with nearly no fanfare. There was no announcement the troops would be leaving. And officials on Fort Bragg, as well as families of the soldiers, were instructed to keep the mission quiet.
Deploying on little notice, the soldiers -- with the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade -- briefly trained at Fort Bragg and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point before leaving for Africa to support Combined Joint Task Force -- Horn of Africa.
