President Obama will give a speech Wednesday, outlining the details of a troop drawdown from Afghanistan set to begin next month.
No other details of the speech, or the number of soldiers set to come home and when, have been released.
Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters Monday that President Obama will travel to Fort Drum, N.Y. Thursday -- the home of the 10th Mountain division, which has seen a lot of action in Afghanistan and made a lot of sacrifices there.
