U.S. Reinforcements Arrive in Iraq

Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 09:56 AM by stupidgit

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Gunmen assassinated Baghdad's deputy governor on Monday, and voter registration for vital January elections began as fresh American soldiers arrived in the capital — reinforcements that will push U.S. military strength in Iraq to its highest level since the summer of 2003.
...
The arrival of the 256th was supposed to have been timed with the departure of the 1st Cavalry's 2nd Brigade, which was scheduled to prepare to return to Fort Hood, Texas, in November. But the Pentagon delayed the 2nd Brigade's departure by two months, military officials said.

The newly arriving troops leave Maj. Gen. Peter Chiarelli, commander of the 1st Cavalry, in charge of eight Army brigades — or more than 32,000 soldiers.
