Soldiers with the 101st Airborne Division are deploying to the Middle East and 3rd Infantry Division troops are headed to Europe, Army officials announced Friday.
The 101st Division’s Combat Aviation Brigade, also known as the “Wings of Destiny” will replace the 10th Mountain Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team, currently deployed to the U.S. Central Command’s theater of operations which includes Iraq and Syria. Officials did not announce when the division would begin its Middle East rotation.
The 3rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command will also replace the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command in the Middle East.
The Army also said that the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team “Raider” will join an ongoing mission to “deter further aggression” against NATO countries and participate in multinational exercises with U.S. allies and partners from across the continent.
