Soldiers plan to leave next week from Fort Hood
About 12,500 soldiers in the Army's 4th Infantry Division are expected to begin shipping out to the Persian Gulf next week after the United States abandoned efforts to send them into northern Iraq through Turkey. The division is likely to go to Kuwait and is the first major element to move out from Fort Hood. Dozens of U.S. ships loaded with weaponry for the division have been redirected from off Turkey’s coast to the Persian Gulf. Soldiers express relief and soberness at the decision. Major Josslyn Aberle notes the speculation and waiting are over and the time to do their jobs has begun.
