CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait — Nearly a quarter-million U.S. soldiers are within weeks of passing through this desert kingdom on their way to or from the war in neighboring Iraq...
"This is a breathtaking, history-making operation," said Army Maj. Gen. Stephen M. Speakes, who runs the rotation from this sand-blown base south of Kuwait City.
...About 130,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq will go home and 110,000 will take their places for about a year, in Operation Iraqi Freedom 2.
Already, as many as 4,000 trucks are on the road between Kuwait and Iraq at any moment...
...The mark of final success...is to move the 250,000 troops and their gear without reducing the firepower available to the top U.S. commander in Iraq, Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez.
"We want him to say he never noticed it," Speakes said.
Our thoughts and prayers go with you!
Thanks, SAMWolf!
