More than 5,000 Schofield Barracks soldiers are leaving for large-scale war games in California as final preparations are made for a summer deployment to Iraq.
About 3,000 soldiers with the 3rd Brigade, 1,000 soldiers and 60 helicopters with the combat aviation brigade, 400 troops with a sustainment brigade and 480 soldiers with the 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry — who will act as an opposition force — are among those expected to arrive at Fort Irwin by early this week for about a month of training.
