More than 20 battalion- and company-size units from U.S. Army Europe have been alerted for deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan in 2008.

The units are in addition to the 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division, which is slated to deploy to Iraq in the spring.

The newly alerted units are expected to deploy between March and November. Like other units serving in the combat zone, they are slated for 15-month tours.

Major elements of the 4,000-member heavy brigade, which is headquartered at Baumholder, Germany, include the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 6th Infantry; the 1st Battalion, 35th Armor; the 4th Battalion, 27th Field Artillery; the 40th Engineer Battalion, and the 47th Forward Support Battalion. The soldiers, most of whom are based in Germany, will join several thousand USAREUR soldiers already serving in theater.
