Thanks for letting us know SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL about the upcoming change-in-command.
I was interested in the numbers of troops deploying and redeploying and hope there will be a crossover of responsibilities with sufficient overlap to ensure smooth operations.
LTG Sean "MacFarland and about 450 soldiers from the III Corps headquarters will return to Fort Hood, Texas, later this summer after a 12-month deployment."
LTG Stephen "Townsend and about 450 of his soldiers from the XVIII Airborne Corps headquarters at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, will replace them in Kuwait. There they will run the headquarters of Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve."
Earlier this week Secretary Ash Carter announced during his recent trip to Iraq that "the U.S. would be deploying an additional 560 troops to support Iraqi Security Forces at the Qayyarah West airfield, also known to U.S. troops who previously served in Iraq as Q-West."
