Col. Michael Burns confirmed to Army Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the school had to borrow instructors and helicopters from other Bragg units to train and test, resources were unreliable, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, since opening in 2013, DeGlopper averaged about 11 classes and graduated about 800 soldiers yearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s air assault school in Kentucky, Georgia and New York are still open for business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you are hungry for an Army School, and want to attend Air Assault, we recommend you look to The Sabalauski Air Assault School at Fort Campbell, The Warrior Training Center at Fort Benning, or the Light Fighter School at Fort Drum,\u201d according to the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\n<script async=\"1\" defer=\"1\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v14.0\" nonce=\"in6r6jhJ\"><\/script><div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheDeGlopperAASLTSchool\/posts\/2287721354584507\" data-width=\"552\"><blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/graph.facebook.com\/753685694654755\/posts\/2287721354584507\/\" class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\"><p>Unfortunately, The DeGlopper Air Assault School will be OFFICIALLY shutting down.
