FORT CARSON, Colo. — The 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, announced April 23, 2020, a summer 2020 deployment to U.S. Central Command’s area of operations in support of combatant commander mission requirements.
As part of the regular rotation of forces, the brigade will replace the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, from Fort Drum, New York.
“The 4th Combat Aviation Brigade of the 4th Infantry Division is a highly trained force comprised of aviation warfighters who are well-supported by our Families and by our local communities,” said Col. Scott Myers, commander, 4th CAB.
The brigade last deployed to Europe in the summer of 2018 in support of U.S. European Command’s Atlantic Resolve mission.
“This professional unit remains ready to answer our nation’s call,” Myers said. “In the upcoming deployment to CENTCOM, 4th CAB, which will be known as ‘Task Force Ivy Eagle,’ will be augmented by members of the National Guard, sourced primarily from Utah’s 1st Battalion, 211th Aviation Regiment. The members of Task Force Ivy Eagle are proud and honored to serve our great nation and to represent the 4th Infantry Division in combat.”
