Elements of the 82nd Airborne Division currently deployed to the Middle East will remain in the region into next year due to "operational requirements," the Army announced.
The extended deployment was announced by division commander Maj. Gen. Brandon R. Tegtmeier in a letter to military families, thanking them for their support of the deployed troops. Task & Purpose reviewed the letter, dated Aug. 30 and shared to social media including the Army's unofficial subreddit. The Army confirmed the authenticity of the letter. The division's headquarters as well as members of artillery units, the sustainment brigade and air defense troops will be in the region for a full year, while paratroopers and the division's combat aviation brigade have had their tours extended for up to a year.
