But that's just a rumor, of course.

10. We may go to a system of unit manning versus individual replacement. This is not the cohort revisited. It is the wholesale moving of units between headquarters on a grand, scheduled basis. We're not going to DEROS people, but units. Even so, a soldier will have to expect to be deployed for one year out of a three year tour.

Uhoh. *FORCE XXI* rears its ugly and untested head [unless it worked out a LOT better in Iraq than appears to have been the case.] There goes the *institutional memory* of activity in particular operational areas, unless they're hoping it can be managed via SEP and FBCB2 *digital battlefield* C4.

No more Division-level HQs? Hmmm, looks like no more Division Capstone Exercises at Ft Irwin....
