The “Big Red One” has received orders to deploy to Iraq for a one year tour.

The 1st Infantry Division Headquarters, based out of Fort Riley, Kansas will be the first division headquarters to deploy to Iraq since the withdrawal in 2011, and will consist of about 500 soldiers. They will deploy in late October and will hold positions in Baghdad, Kurdistan, and possibly other areas not currently being declared by the CENTCOM.

THE ENTIRE DIVISION OR JUST A BRIGADE OR TWO? Looks and sounds like just the division headquarters unit.

Basically no story.

get in your track and follow me, I am the mechanized infantry..........  What upsets me most about this is the fact that we had (in the not too distant past) secure faclilities and infrastructure there, but we walked away from it.  Now we will have to fight to retake those areas (as this war expands) and good kids will die in the process.   This is like watching two trains getting ready to crash into each other, but not being able to do anything about it.  God help us.

I no longer give him that credit. I'm seeing a buffoon who is so blatantly incompetent that he simply has no fucking idea what he's doing. This nation is at risk and I mean that in all seriousness. We may not survive the next 2 years under this idiot.

Yes we will, he is only the President. One of many before and there will be many after. We just have the unfortunate timing to be alive when the worst ever is in office.

Boots on the ground in Iraq and Holder leaving on the same day.

What other shenanigans are going on that we are missing while the media stays busy with those two headlines?

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes for a gun ban or amnesty between now and Christmas.

I heard on CNN where ISIS made a big push toward a town near Baghdad today. Not seeing any links about it though....Hushed-up maybe or just BS?

If true just wait until Iran starts killing our guys again via the militias.....
Iran doesn't want us there because they see this whole thing as a huge opportunity to gain territorial influence.  I think they think that they can handle ISIS and other groups in Iraq and Syria themselves over the long term.

More from the article -




Some soldiers will be advisers to Peshmerga and Iraqi Security
Forces, while others will provide support and security for future
American operations across Iraq
. The Big Red One’s 1st Brigade Combat
Team is already standing by in Kuwait as part of a regular rotation of
forces to the region. However, at this point they have not been tasked
with a fighting role in the developing situation.

Not knowing anything about things military, I'm assuming that this Headquarters group needs some other troops to be headquarters over.



So this is a set-up for future operations...............................

It will be when one of these companies is over run somehwere because they don't have enough support and Obama is golfing and not taking calls.

500 soldiers holding positions in "Baghdad, Kurdistan, and possibly other areas not currently being declared by the CENTCOM" means small, vulnerable groups of soldiers all over the damn area.
