Nah...it's alright.
Truth be told if we're deploying these guys odds are we dont need to be sending a bunch of units to JRTC because they're getting real World training in Iraq.
JRTC's schedule is open so why not send [2 out of 4 battalions] them in and see what they're able to accomplish....I am sure critical eyes will be watching to see how it plays out. Plus JRTC will probably be picking up a few new tricks to bring back home.
Actually, they sent two out of THREE. There is only A, B and D. It really crippled the JRTC and there were MANY rotations that went through while the G-men were gone. A national guard unit came in to replace them, and the training was nothing of the caliber of the real thing. The schedule was not open as you suggested. It did give them some real world experience that will be valuable to the group, but being so unexpected it left a tremendous burden on their families. They only had a few weeks notice!
