Does any one know the status of the 1st Infantry Division (the Big Red One)? I wonder if they will wind up in Northern Iraq.

From Bay News 9:

"The U.S. military Thursday began airlifting troops, tanks and equipment for the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division into northern Iraq after about 1,000 paratroopers secured a key airfield in the country's Kurdish-controlled zone."

Rumor is that the 3rd car is being airlifted in from Germany, probably to the north. Most of the 1st DIV will probably stay out of it.
