There Until the End

Oct-19-2009 » Filed Under: 2/25 SBCT

The Honolulu Advertiser has a nice piece on what the role of the 2/25 SBCT might be in Iraq as the US presence there decreases.

As part of what is advertised to be a "noncombat" force, the Stryker Brigade will have a role largely focusing on advising and assisting Iraqi security forces and civil agencies.

Frost said he's being augmented with more than 45 field-grade officers — majors, lieutenant colonels and colonels — who will be part of upward of 25 "stability training teams."

There's been a lot of advise and assist operations to this point, but instead of being involved in actual operations at the tactical level, the new training teams will have more of a strategic overwatch role.
