Here at Bradley`s we like to bring you the most upcoming recent news concerning our soldiers that we support from Ft. Drum, NY. Listed below are a few excerpts from a recent news article that Yahoo posted.

"Close to 3,000 American soldiers who recently arrived in Afghanistan to secure two violent provinces near Kabul have begun operations in the field and already are seeing combat, the unit`s spokesman said Monday.

The new troops are the first wave of an expected surge of reinforcements this year. The process began to take shape under President George Bush but has been given impetus by President Barack Obama`s call for an increased focus on Afghanistan.

... The new unit - the 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the 10th Mountain Division - moved into Logar and Wardak provinces last month, and the soldiers from Fort Drum, N.Y., are now stationed in combat outposts throughout the provinces."
