What are the rotations in Iraq for the United States army?
79319
the standard rotation for army personel is "one year boots on the ground" but it adds up to like 15-16 months if you count the training for mobilization and the demobilization process.

most of the driving is done by locals in "jingle trucks" the rest the military covers. So either join the service or talk to the Kuwaitis people. There is also a company that does like everything maybe ask them there called KBR. I am not really sure about that whole civilian driving off base in a combat zone type thing. Most supplies come on planes or choppers anyhow.

I was stationed at FT Jackson as a Drill Sergeant for a time in the 1990's. Lots of sand and bugs. Lots of heat as well. Expect early mornings and long days. Just remember it is all a head game. The Drill Sergeant's job is to make you a soldier. It is not hard, you just have to listen and do what is asked of you. You can do it. Their job is to make you think, walk, talk, like a soldier. You will have to learn military customs and tradition, rank structure. How to properly maintain and fire a weapon. How to properly wear your uniform, boots and how to have a professional look about yourself. Be proud to be in the US Army. \n Physical training is a big part of it. Be ready to get fit and lean. Don't worry, they will not leave you behind. They will make every effort to help you and make you a soldier. Also weapons qualification is the other key. If you don't qualify with the M16A2, you will not graduate. A soldier is nothing if he or she cannot properly use the weapons they are given. \nBe ready for FTX(field training exercise) for about 2-3 days and a 10-20 mile road march. Don't worry they will be checking on you and you will stop and take breaks. Keep plenty of water in you at all times. You can't drink enough water. Drink it till it makes you think you will hurl. You don't want to get stuck by a medic with IV bag or in the hospital. Also you will have access to medical care. If you have a problem,let your Drill Sergeant know. Good Luck!

Usually it's determined by a combination of the soldier's occupational specialty, his rank, and the needs of the various units at any specific time.  Just because your son is in Colorado doesn't mean he won't go to Iraq, though.  \n\nMANY units from US bases have done 2 or more tours to Iraq, and more will do so.  The unit will still be officially based at Ft (name a base here) but is on an extended deployment to (name a location here) for 3 to 12 or more months.\n\nThe thoughts of the Army for your son are that he's now prepared to learn to do his military job, done through training exercises in his new permanent unit.  He may be "in the woods" at Ft Carson, go elsewhere in the US for additional training with his unit, or be deployed to another location for either training or war purposes.\n\nThis is simply the fact of military life.  Please understand I'm not adding ANY value judgment to it.  However, his JOB as a soldier is to protect and defend the US as determined by the needs of the service by his superiors.  I thank both him and you for his service, and pray for his safety both in his training and any deployments.

All the services have basically the same drill regimen. Start running/jogging. You'll want to be able to do three miles minimum without getting exhausted. Pull ups, push ups, sit ups/crunches, and stretching. Do what you can... you'll get the real exercises once you're in basic training.

There are only two jobs in the Military: Infantry and Infantry Support. All the other jobs in the military are simply designed to help and assist ground troops. So take that for what it's worth... \n\nThe United States Army is transitioning to a new model in which they will have 10 Divisions, each division has 4 Brigades with 2 Battalions per brigade. There are 8 Infantry Divisions: \n\n1st Infantry, 2nd Infantry, 3rd Infantry, 4th Infantry, 10th Mountain (Light Infantry basically), 25th Light Infantry, 82nd Airborne, 101st Air Assault.) I believe there are also a few more Stryker Infantry Brigades (4 to be precise) and 2 more seperate Airborne Brigades and the Ranger Regiment with 3 more battalions. So all told, you've got 79 Infantry Battalions (approximately, I might be forgetting one or two.) \n\nThere are also four types of infantry... \n\nLight Infantry (Traditional grunts. Walk everywhere and carry everything on their backs.) \n\nInfantry (Mechanized Infantry, they travel in M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicles and can fight mounted in these vehicles or dismount and operate like Light Infantry.) \n\nAirborne Infantry (Operate like Light Infantry only they get to battle by jumping in on parachutes. Often times are behind enemy lines because of the nature of the airborne aspect.) \n\nAir Assault Infantry (Operate like Light Infantry only get to the battle by riding in on helicopters. Again, often used to attack behind enemy lines and "vertically envelop" enemy positions) \n\nRangers (A more elite Airborne Infantry used for spearhead operations, tougher missions or special operations)

Check out Blackwater.  My husband is Army and one of his buddies is over there now with Blackwater.  They have already been deployed to Iraq before and he's making more money now than he did when he was fighting there.  It's dangerous.  If you're military, you'll understand the situation more thorough.

Try the January 27th European edition of the Stars and Stripes online newspaper. It has a pretty good article on the realignment. You can also find information at the US Army Europe's main web page.\nBoth links are below.
