Greg sends us a link to the report<\/a> that the Secretary of the Army announced that the 7th Infantry Division will be reactivated at Joint Base Lewis McChord;<\/p>\n

The soon-to-be reactivated division will encompass 2nd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division; 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division; 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division; 17th Fires Brigade and 16th Combat Aviation Brigade, for a total of some 17,000 Soldiers. But as a nondeployable headquarters, the new division headquarters and its estimated 250 personnel will primarily focus on making sure soldiers are properly trained and equipped, and that order and discipline is maintained in its subordinate brigades.<\/p>\n

“When you have the number of soldiers, the number of civilian personnel, the number of other service components in one location as they do here at JBLM, (having) eyes on those units … is enormously important,” McHugh said.<\/p>\n

McHugh denied that the decision to create a division on the installation came in response to recent incidents involving soldiers from the base, emphasizing that the plan to station a division headquarters on the installation has been in progress for some time. He defended the base, saying it faces the same challenges as other similar installations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Greg says, and I agree that it’s just a way to keep some of the general officers and colonels around when the axe falls later this year. I’m just now catching up with what units are at what base and now the shuffling begins again.<\/p>\n

The 7th Infantry Division is scheduled for activation on Oct. 1 of this year, and a commander is expected to be announced in a few weeks. Personnel will begin arriving in early summer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The ass-kissing and sucking up will begin this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
