FORT CARSON — About 2,700 more soldiers and 113 helicopters are coming to Fort Carson as part of a new Army aviation brigade, U.S. Sen. Mark Udall said Monday. The additions will occur sometime between late 2012 and late 2014.
The expansion will push the military population at Fort Carson, outside Colorado Springs, to nearly 30,000 with about $224 million in construction contracts to accommodate the brigade, Udall’s aides said.
One brigade will be new — the 13th Combat Aviation Brigade — and a second will be a consolidation of aircraft and personnel from other units.
