The 101st Airborne Division’s First Brigade Combat Team returns to Afghanistan this winter. Nineteen hundred of the brigade’s soldiers will be training Afghan forces to take over stabilizing the country as the Pentagon reduces U.S. forces there. Deployment begins in November. This will be the second unit from Fort Campbell sent to Afghanistan to serve the Afghan National Army, Afghan police or border patrol in a mostly advisory role. About 400 soldiers, mostly senior leaders and non-commissioned officers, from the Second Brigade Combat Team deployed earlier this year as security force assistance teams. The 1st Brigade Combat Team will be broken down into groups of advisory teams.
