DoD Announces Recruiting and Retention Numbers for December
http://www.defenselink.mil/Releases/Release.aspx?ReleaseID=10390

DoD Announces Force Adjustments
http://www.defenselink.mil/Releases/Release.aspx?ReleaseID=10387

As a result of the President's Iraq strategy review, the Department
of Defense announced today an increase of 20, 000 U.S. military forces
for Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Specific decisions made by the Secretary of Defense include: The 2nd
Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division, based at Fort Bragg, N.C., and
currently assigned as the call forward force in Kuwait, will move
into Iraq and assume a security mission there.

The 1st Brigade, 34th Infantry Division, Minnesota Army National
Guard, will be extended in its current mission for up to 125 days and
will redeploy not later than August 2007.

The 4th Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, based at Ft. Riley, Kan.,
will deploy in February 2007 as previously announced.

Three other Army combat brigades will deploy as follows:

· The 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, based at Ft.
Benning, Ga., will deploy in March 2007.

· The 4th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, based at
Ft. Lewis, Wash., will deploy in April 2007.

· The 2nd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, based at Ft.
Stewart, Ga., will deploy in May 2007.

The Marine Corps will extend two reinforced infantry battalions for
approximately 60 days. Additionally, the 15th Marine Expeditionary
Unit (Special Operations Capable) will remain in Iraq for
approximately 45 additional days.

Other combat-support and combat-service-support units may also be
deployed as necessary once new requirements are assessed.

The additional forces will help Iraqis clear and secure neighborhoods
while protecting the local population. These actions will build the
capacity available to commanders to 20 brigade or regimental combat
teams to assist in achieving stability and security and accelerate
Iraqi Security Force development.

Finally, the USS Stennis Carrier Strike Group and the 3rd Battalion,
43rd Air Defense Regiment will deploy to the region to bolster
security.

These deployments reflect the continued commitment of the United
States to the security of the Iraqi people. In consultation with the
Iraqi government, commanders will continue to assess the situation
and make recommendations about the appropriate force levels that best
support the Iraqi government.

The department recognizes the continued sacrifices of these units and
their family members.

For information about the units announced today or other units
involved in this rotation, please contact Army Public Affairs at
(703) 692-2000, Marine Corps Public Affairs at (703) 614-4309 or Navy
Public Affairs at (703) 697-5342.
