I am not sure which kind of unit I should choose. I understand that the branch is obviously centered around tanks, and that ABCTs are currently being rotated through Europe, Kuwait, and Korea. There seems to be more variety with SBCTs and IBCTs. I&#39;m looking for some insight into the pros and cons of each for career development, day to day life, mission sets, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Take what they give you and focus on your development, your Soldiers and the mission. Everything else will fall into place. Thank you for your future service. I salute you!
