quote:DOD Identifies Units for Upcoming Afghanistan Rotation
The Department of Defense today identified three major units to deploy as part of the upcoming rotation of forces operating in Afghanistan. The scheduled rotation will begin in Spring 2012.
This announcement involves one division headquarters totaling approximately 1,000 personnel and two brigade combat teams totaling approximately 5,800 personnel.
Headquarters units:
#149; 3rd Infantry Division HQ, Fort Stewart, Ga.
Brigade Combat Teams:
#149; 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82d Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, N.C. (to deploy as a partial BCT).
#149; 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82d Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, N.C.
Note I got this in an E-mail so Opsec is out the window. This was reported to all news agencies also.

He is not stationed at any of those installations. Perhaps the buildup is bigger than is being currently reported.
So this is where we send out children?
