Following US President Barack Obama’s request of Congress to authorize additional military action against the Islamic State terrorists, a brigade of more than 4,000 soldiers will be heading out of Ft. Carson, Colorado to Kuwait, the Associated Press has reported.

FORT CARSON, Colo., Feb. 15 (UPI) -- A brigade of more than 4,000 soldiers from Fort Carson, Colo., will be deployed to Kuwait to create the largest U.S. ground force currently in the Middle East.
The Fort Carson soldiers could be the first into battle if a major combat force is used to fight the Islamic State, according to The Gazette.
The brigade equipped with tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles has been training for more than a year and many of the soldiers are veterans of the Iraq war.
"We're no strangers to deployment," Col. Greg Sierra, the brigade's commander, said at a farewell ceremony. "We are absolutely ready for this mission."
