There will be five to six security assistance force brigades left in Iraq after 1 Sept. The only difference between a security assistance force brigade and a BCT is the addition of roughly 40 senior officers and noncommissioned officers who are there to help train Iraqi security forces. These 40 individuals draw upon the resources of the BCT to which they are assigned for additional instructors, demonstration troops, and security. These security assistance force brigades have the same combat capabilities as their base BCT structure. So saving that the final U.S. combat brigade leaves Baghdad is factually incorrect. They may be combat ready but they are there only to train and provide a smooth transition. Nice try, NRO.
