Fort Campbell’s 101st Combat Aviation Brigade is preparing for deployment to Afghanistan and will hold a color-casing ceremony at the Army post on the Kentucky-Tennessee state line.
The casing of the colors is an Army tradition that represents movement of the brigade to a new location.
The brigade will replace the 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade in a regular rotation of forces and will be the unit’s fifth deployment to Afghanistan. The 101st Airborne Division said in a news release that in previous deployments, the brigade flew thousands of hours transporting troops and providing close air support and aerial reconnaissance.
The ceremony will take place Wednesday (5/23) at Fort Campbell.
