In a secret deployment over the last few weeks, Fort Carson's 10th Special Forces group has left the post for Iraq, the Army confirmed Monday.

Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, N.C., won't say how many soldiers from the 10th Group deployed, but sources have told the Gazette that almost all 1,000 soldiers from the unit are gone.

Other secrets include where in Iraq the unit landed and how long the soldiers will be gone.

The 10th Group has expertise in battling guerilla groups and training native forces to protect their own countries.
