Drum BCT’s Iraq deployment canceled

FORT DRUM, N.Y. — The Army is canceling the deployment of 3,500 Fort Drum troops to Iraq in January.
Fort Drum spokeswoman Julie Cupernall says there’s no word yet on whether the 3,500 troops of the 10th Mountain Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team might be headed to Afghanistan instead as part of a troop level increase now being debated by the Obama administration.
President Barack Obama is expected to announce the results of a review of U.S. policy in Afghanistan in the coming weeks. The top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan has requested more troops to fight the insurgency there.
For now, Cupernall says the 1st BCT goes back into a pool of deployable brigades.

Oct 6, 2009- Captain "Carried forward by perfect trust"

(Joshua L. Chamberlain- letter to his mother)
"I believe in a destiny- one, i mean, divinely appointed, and to which we are carried forward by a perfect trust in God. I have laid plans, in my day, and good ones i thought. But they never succeeded. Something else, better ,did, and I could see it plain as day, that God had done it, and for my good.

So I am right, be sure of that, happen what may. Not for any merit of mine, but for divine and loving mercy all is bright with me, in this world and beyond."
