The Pentagon on Monday announced upcoming deployments of more than 42,000 troops, including 25,000 active duty Army soldiers who would be sent to Iraq beginning in the fall to replace troops scheduled to come home by year's end.


The seven Army combat brigades and one division headquarters units that would be sent to Iraq later this year are:

25th Infantry Division Headquarters
2nd Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, from Fort Carson, Colo.
3rd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, from Schofield Barracks, Hawaii
2nd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, from Fort Riley, Kan.
3rd Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division, from Fort Bragg, N.C.
172nd Infantry Brigade from Schweinfurt, Germany
3rd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, from Fort Hood, Texas.
1st Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, from Fort Wainwright, Alaska.

We're at Fort Hood but my hubby is Air Force. There are always so many Army deployed from here...hrmph.

The four National Guard brigades being alerted for Iraq duty are:
