The IBCT facilities (barracks) will not be completed in time for the proposed move so the IBCT is heading to Ft Hood for a year. It would make sense for them to go to Hawaii and send the SBCT here to Knox as a trade. But when did the Army do anything that made sense? :-)
The decision to put a Stryker Bde in Hawaii never made sense to me in the first place. Even with the proposed increases in training areas, there will never be enough to support the brigade. Plus, you have very high shipping costs every time the brigade needs to deploy or go to the Mainland. But, it was a political decision, IMO.
Perhaps the Envirowackos are doing the Army a favor, providing an excuse to fix a mistake.
