FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — Soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division continue to return from Iraq to Fort Campbell.

The (Clarksville, Tenn.) Leaf-Chronicle reported two planes had landed by dawn on Wednesday, and a third was anticipated.

The first two flights carried about 300 soldiers each.

Many of the soldiers are coming home early after the military reduced their previously announced 15-month deployment.
