“Roughly 750 soldiers with the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division are slated to be wheels up soon headed for Kuwait with an additional 4,000 American troops expected to deploy later this week, a U.S. defense official confirmed to Military Times.

The deployment of additional forces adds to the nearly 14,000 additional American troops that have deployed to the U.S. Central Command area of operations over the last six months to confront Iranian malign behavior.”

Today more than 10 USAF Boeing C-17As were tracked over Eruope in flight to Middle East. A single C-17 can carry up to 102 paratroppers.

We’ve tracked the first one around 10:00 CET

This Globmaster was only the first one. We’ve tracked other two aircraft some minutes after and two other after an hour.

Around 13:00 CET this is the situation of USAF C-17A in flight over Europe to the Middle East
