Joint Base Lewis-McChord’s combat aviation brigade is on the ground in Afghanistan and ready for operations, it announced this week.

The 16th Combat Aviation Brigade expects to be in the country through the rest of the year with about 1,200 soldiers from Lewis-McChord.

They’ve been joined by a sister aviation unit from Alaska and another from the Tennessee National Guard.

“Everyone is getting settled in nicely,” the brigade wrote on its Facebook page.
