Fort Carson just keeps getting bigger. The latest announcement (yesterday) is that a new brigade (just under 5,000 troops) will be posted here, bringing the planned headcount up to 30,000 within the next 5 years. Now keep in mind that we have been waiting for a couple of years already for the last contingent that was announced to arrive (they aren't really here yet), so this is great news, but for later. When they do arrive, it will be mostly through the Colorado Springs Airport and/or Peterson Air Force Base (they share the runways), and todays photo is the view from the airport that they will likely be seeing, taken last Saturday morning as we waited for a flight.
