A military unit division usually consists of somewhere between ten thousand to thirty thousand soldiers.

 

If they are going to replace the 82nd, does that mean we already have that number over there?

 

How many camps and facilities do we have already have established for this many troops to occupy?

 

Perhaps one of our veterans from Iraq can respond to my questions.

Operation Enduring Freedom II & III, 2002–03[edit]

After 11 September attacks on the United States, the 82nd's 49th Public Affairs Detachment deployed to Afghanistan in October 2001 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom along with several individual 82nd soldiers who deployed to the Central Command area of responsibility to support combat operations.

In June 2002, elements of the division headquarters and TF Panther (HQs, 3rd Brigade; 1-504th PIR, 1-505th PIR, 3-505th PIR, 1-319th AFAR) deployed to Afghanistan. In January 2003, TF Devil (HQs,1st Brigade, 2-504th PIR, 3-504th PIR, 2-505th PIR, 3-319th AFAR) relieved TF Panther.

Operation Iraqi Freedom I, 2003–04[edit]
220px-82nd_AB_Mosul.jpg
 
U.S. Paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division patrol the streets of the Al Sudeek district of Mosul, Iraq, in January 2005.

In March 2003, 1-325, 2–325 and 3-325 Airborne Infantry of the 2nd BCT were attached to the 75th Ranger Regiment as part of a special operations task force to conduct a parachute assault to seize Saddam International Airport in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. On 21 March 2003, D Company crossed the Saudi Arabia–Iraq border as part of Task Force Hunter to escort heavy rocket artillery indirect fire systems to destroy Iraqi artillery batteries in the western Iraqi desert. Upon cancellation of the parachute assault to seize the airport, the battalions returned to their parent 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment at Talil Airfield near An Nasariyah, Iraq. The 325th AIR then continued operations in Samawah, Fallujah, and Baghdad. The brigade returned to the United States by the end of February 2004.[29]

The early days of the 82nd Airborne's participation in the deployment were chronicled by embedded journalist Karl Zinsmeister in his 2003 book Boots on the Ground: A Month with the 82nd Airborne in the Battle for Iraq.

In April 2003, according to Human Rights Watch, soldiers from a subordinate unit, the 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, fired indiscriminately into a crowd of Iraqi civilians protesting their presence in the city of Fallujah. They killed and wounded many civilians. The battalion suffered no casualties.[30]

The 3rd brigade deployed to Iraq in the summer, redeploying to the U.S. in Spring 2004. The 1st brigade deployed in January 2004. The last units of the division left by the end of April 2004. The 2nd brigade deployed on 7 December 2004 to support the free elections and returned on Easter Sunday in 2005. During this initial deployment 36 soldiers from the division were killed and about 400 were wounded, out of about 12,000 deployed. On 21 July 2006, the 1/325 along with a platoon from A Battery, 2nd Battalion, 319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment and a troop from 1st Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment deployed to Tikrit, Iraq returning in December 2006. Just days after returning home, the battalion join the rest of the 2nd Brigade in another deployment scheduled for the beginning of January 2007.

Rapid deployment operations[edit] Afghanistan[edit]

In late September 2004 The National Command Authority alerted TF 1-505th PIR for an emergency deployment to Afghanistan in support of that October's (first free) elections.

Iraq[edit]

In December 2004, the task forces based on 2-325th AIR and 3-325th AIR deployed to Iraq to provide a safe and secure environment for the country’s first-ever free national elections. Thanks in part to the efforts of 2nd Brigade paratroopers, more than eight million Iraqis were able to cast their first meaningful ballots.

Operation Enduring Freedom VI, 2005–06[edit]

The First Brigade of the 82nd deployed in April 2005 in support of OEF 6, and returned in April 2006.

I think a lot would be amazed, to see how many soldiers are in Iraq, especially in the Embassy in Baghdad Iraq, google, United States Embassy, Baghdad, Iraq, I think you will be amazed at the slide show.

When first getting into this investment 10 years ago, I had a soldier working for me, in Fort Campbell, KY, 101st Airborne, he had served a few years there and helped build and protect this place, seem our tax dollars spent were close to 1 Trillion dollars to build this place. that is what really convinced me, that something would happen with their currency, Why would our country, spend this much on this place , in this country.

I don't think it is because we love Iraqis, or want to put a Hug a Camel, bumper sticker on our car.

I do know this, 30,000 soldiers were shipped out of Fort Campbell, about 8 months ago, and the talk is another 25,000 are getting ready to go.

Take it for what it is worth, but, we have stopped construction on any new homes in that area,NO Buyers.

I have complained about articles that come out of Iraq as well. Sometimes they give me a headache when I have to read and reread the article several times. You would think by now that the Iraqis would have an International press office with qualified translators and writers to make their news to the world readable in any language. I'm sure the US has translators but the feeds that we get from Iraq, Iran, Syria etc. don't seem to rate their translation. That's why I don't really trust the articles that we get here at DV.
