Around 20,000 soldiers got their final briefing Friday afternoon at
Ft. Campbell. It's been two years since the division was last deployed to Iraq.
Soldiers will board planes and be heading off Friday to do numerous duties,
including helping train Iraqi law enforcement. Families took the afternoon to
say goodbye. This is just the 5th time in the history of the 101st that the entire
division has been deployed all at once. The soldiers will be gone a year. |
