Eight hundred more soldiers -- nearly a quarter of the 4th Airborne Brigade Combat Team -- will return to Anchorage in the next two days, just in time for Thanksgiving.
The troops will arrive at Elmendorf Air Force Base aboard two morning flights on Wednesday and a third morning flight on Thursday, a spokesman at Fort Richardson said.
Their return will bring to 2,200 the number of 4th Brigade paratroopers who've returned to Fort Richardson this month after a 15-month deployment in Iraq.
The remainder of the brigade - about 1,300 more soldiers - are expected to return between Friday and mid-December.
