Three Houston brothers to be sent to Iraq together

FORT HOOD, Texas -- When brothers Michael, Allen and Reginald Mouton of the Army’s Ironhorse Brigade got their orders for Iraq, they could have asked the military to split them up.

But the soldier siblings, who grew up in Houston and are based at Fort Hood, say they never considered asking.

They will ship out for the Middle East next month, an extremely rare instance of three brothers from the same unit being sent to the same base in a combat zone.

They will be, in every sense, brothers in arms.
