    DOD Announces Units for Upcoming Rotation in Iraq


    The Department of Defense announced today the alert of
    replacement forces scheduled to deploy in support of Operation New Dawn.
    Effective Sept. 1, 2010, the U.S. mission in Iraq is renamed from
    Operation Iraqi Freedom to Operation New Dawn to coincide with U.S.
    forces' shift to an advisory, assistance, training, and equipping role.

    The alert announcement involves one infantry brigade from the Army
    National Guard consisting of approximately 2,700 personnel.

    Indecision may or may not be my problem.

    can we just change it to operation kittens and puppies? Then it should be quite clear that we are not there to fight any sort of battle, just hanging out and showing love
