The units will come in waves with the brunt of the force here in the first weeks of June, said Lt. Col. Lindy White, deputy state public affairs officer.
A large contingency of the Oklahoma National Guard are taking part in readiness training.
"One battalion has already done their training but other units will get their training, too," she said.
Some Soldiers with the 45th IBCT have already arrived and are working through their warfighter exercises, White said.
