'Advise and Assist Iraq' ... same as 'MAC - I' would have been 'back in the day' ... but 'The UN' claims that 'all combat units are out of Iraq' now ... sad thing is, the idiots that 'elected' him actually believe this crap ... Baghdad - the 'new Saigon' ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.armytimes.com/news/2010/08/dn-brigades-stay-under-different-name-081910/ Combat brigades in Iraq under different name 7 Advise and Assist Brigades, made up of troops from BCTs, still in Iraq By Kate Brannen - Staff writer Posted : Saturday Aug 21, 2010 16:10:59 EDT As the final convoy of the Army’s 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, based at Fort Lewis, Wash., entered Kuwait early Thursday, a different Stryker brigade remained in Iraq. Soldiers from the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team of the 25th Infantry Division are deployed in Iraq as members of an Advise and Assist Brigade, the Army’s designation for brigades selected to conduct security force assistance. So while the “last full U.S. combat brigade” have left Iraq, just under 50,000 soldiers from specially trained heavy, infantry and Stryker brigades will stay, as well as two combat aviation brigades. There are seven Advise and Assist Brigades in Iraq, as well as two additional National Guard infantry brigades “for security,” said Army spokesman Lt. Col. Craig Ratcliff. |
