FORT STEWART, Ga. (WJCL) — More than 3,000 soldiers from 3rd Infantry Division (3rd ID) will deploy for a three-month rotation to Europe in March.OK.
The deployment is in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve. Soldiers from the 1st Heavy Brigade Combat Team, the 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade, and the Division Artillery comprise the majority of the soldiers participating in the deployment.
The taskings are getting a bit out of hand. Quick tally of US Army deployments off the top of my head. Elements of the 82nd are in Iraq. The 4th ID is sending a BCT to Iraq. Some unit (forgot which one) is scheduled to head to Korea for UDP. You have potential deployments to Australia. Oh and the rest of the 82nd and 101st are currently serving as the "Global Response Force". What did I leave out? The Army boys that are in Africa dealing with Ebola and the 25th that is participating in Cobra Gold in Thailand. The only unit that's been quiet as of late is the 10th Mountain. What they're up to is anyone's guess.
One thing is sure though.
The USMC isn't the only service dealing with hellacious ops tempo.
