Here is the US Troop rotation schedule. I am really in favor of this type of full unit rotation (Another lesson learned from Special Forces). The old way for US Units was to provide individual replacements. Replacing entire units means troops who trained together deploy together; unit cohesiveness does not have to be built; command and troops understand each other; unit SOPs are known by all. SF has always preferred to deploy intact "A" teams and replace them as a unit. Though initially full team rotations were done, later as things built up in Nam, individual replacements were called for but nobody really liked that system and it was discarded. Iraq * = 6 month rotation, otherwise one year. 3rd Infantry Division (-)... 82d Airborne Division (-)* Sep 03 1st Marine Expeditionary Force... Polish Multi-National Div Sep/Oct 03 4th Infantry Division... 1st INF Div (-) w/ INF Bde (ARNG)* Mar/Apr 04 1st Armored Division... 1st CAV Div w/ INF Bde (ARNG)* Feb/Apr 04 2nd Light CAV Regiment... Bde / 1st CAV Div Mar/Apr 04 3rd Armored CAV Regiment... Stryker Brigade 1 (Oct 03) Mar/Apr 04 101st AASLT Division... Multi-National Division Feb/Mar 04 2nd Brigade, 82d Airborne Div... Redeploys Jan 04 173rd Airborne Brigade... Redeploys Apr 04 The following are all 6 month rotations: Afghanistan 82d Airborne Division (-)... 10th Mountain Division(-) (AUG 03)... 25th Infantry Division (-)(FEB 04) Bosnia 35th Infantry Division (-) (KS ARNG)... 34th Infantry Division (-) (MN ARNG) (SEP 03) Kosovo 28th Infantry Division (-) (PA ARNG)... 34th Infantry Division (-) (MN ARNG)(FEB 04) Sinai 1-133d Infantry, 34th ID (IA ARNG)...1-125th Infantry, 38th ID (MI ARNG)(JAN 04)
