The first units of the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division have already been deployed to the Middle East.
Oxu.Az reports that Al Jazeera, citing a U.S. official, has shared this information.
According to the official, the initial groups of paratroopers were dispatched late last week. In particular, a brigade combat team has arrived in the Middle East, including communications and support units.
The paratroopers will continue arriving this week. The source said that a total of 3,000 service members from the 82nd Airborne Division—an entire brigade—will be deployed to the region.
