Some 15,000 soldiers are heading home to Fort Campbell after spending more than a year at war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and military health officials are bracing for a surge in brain injuries and psychological problems among those troops.

Army leaders are hoping to use the base's experiences to assess the long-term impact of repeated deployments.
