Q: Did I hear it right, that Brooke Shields is on the new season of "Army Wives"?

Author: 
Adam Thomlison / TV Media

That is correct.

The new season, which premiered on Lifetime recently, features a very different cast.

Shields is the most notable addition, playing an Air Force colonel who doesn't get on well with series original Gen. Holden (played by Brian McNamara).

A network news release describes her character, Katherine Young, as "a crack C-17 pilot who can hold her own in the boys club atmosphere of the military."
