82nd Combat Aviation Brigade to deploy to Afghanistan

The brigade, which is based at Fort Bragg, will deploy about 2,800 soldiers to provide a variety of air, weapons and logistical support capabilities for the International Security Assistance Forces.

The brigade returned in April from a year-long deployment in southern Afghanistan. During their time, the brigade flew more than 12,000 missions, including air assaults, medical airlifts, reconnaissance and cargo movements.
