Ordinary or extra-ordinary, our elected officials should explain this (with thanks to Marine Mom).
The Army Times reported on May 25, 2011:
More than 7,170 soldiers will deploy to Iraq beginning in mid-summer -- despite a security agreement that requires U.S. forces to depart the country by Dec.31.
The deployments are part of the regular rotation of forces and will include a division headquarters of 775 soldiers and two brigade combat teams totaling 6,400 soldiers, according to a Defense Department announcement Tuesday.
The soldiers will begin deploying in mid-summer and continue through the fall.
The deploying units are:
• 3rd Infantry Division headquarters, Fort Stewart, Ga.
• 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas.
• 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, Fort Bliss, Texas.
