U.S. Army Plans for Current Iraq Troop Level to 2010
by Andrew Gray
The U.S. Army is planning on the basis that it may have to maintain
current troop levels in Iraq until at least 2010, its top general said on
Wednesday.
Army Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Schoomaker said the United States was
in a tough fight with insurgents in Iraq but his plans did not mean it
would
necessarily need to keep the present level of 15 combat brigades there for
the next four years.
Including those brigades, numbering about 3,500-4,000 soldiers each,
the United States has about 141,000 troops in Iraq.
"We don't know what's going to happen but I'm telling you we're
looking at our force and how we would continue this level two (troop)
rotations beyond (now), so that's beyond 2010," he told re****ters at the
Pentagon.
