Some of you may have seen that story in the Army Times<\/a> about a planned reduction from twelve to nine and have at least two years dwell time. The proposed plan would go into effect in two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know 12 months is too long to sustain repeatedly, and we know that six months is too short for the operational environment,\u201d he said, adding \u201cso once we get demand down to about 10 brigade combat teams, we\u2019re looking to revert to nine-month deployments,\u201d Casey said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wonder is this possible with the fact the it took a extension of three months to have the number of troops needed for Iraq. Even with the draw down in Iraq, would we be able to maintain a nine month deployment cycle for such combat zones like Afghanistan?<\/p>\n

It seems like a good idea on paper with any people going on multiple tours with dwell time being a year or shorter before going again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not going to get there, I don\u2019t think, in the next two years, but shortly after that I think we\u2019d be able to do something,\u201d Casey said. \u201cRight now, the volume of the deployments is just too fast, too much.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But that is the whole point of a reduce deployment cycle is to be used to reduce the stress from a multiple deployments. So if the face that we cannot do it with the high level of deployments now what is going to change in two years if the tempo is the same.<\/p>\n

I mean over all a nice thought, but I do not think that is is possible. I mean for a while the twelve months was not enough. So expect this policy to not last very long or being postponed all together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
