Fort Campbell, KY – Some 17,000 Fort Campbell soldiers are expected to return to base soon, in the largest homecoming in seven years. The 3rd Brigade Combat Team will return from Afghanistan in January. The first and second combat teams and the 101st Aviation Brigade and Headquarters will return home in the spring. The Clarksville Leaf Chronicle reports the mass-return is the prime focus of acting senior commander Major General Frank Wiercinski. He says redeploying and reintegrating troops is something Fort Campbell has down to a science.
