WASHINGTON - The Army's top general said Wednesday that he is making plans based on the possibility the Army will be required to keep tens of thousands of soldiers in Iraq through 2006.
Gen. Peter Schoomaker, the Army chief of staff, told the House Armed Services Committee that "for planning purposes" he has ordered his staff to consider how the Army would replace the force that is now rotating into Iraq with another force of similar size in 2005 - and again in 2006.
