Via the Calpundit, I see that my old unit may be deploying to Afghanistan:
Rumors are now swirling that one of two maneuver squadrons (battalions) of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment will soon deploy from Fort Irwin, California, to Afghanistan, and two of the three companies of the 1st Battalion of the 509th Infantry Regiment will travel from Fort Polk, Louisiana, to Iraq. These units are the permanent “opposing forces,” or OPFOR, at the National Training Center and the Joint Readiness Training Center respectively.
Allons!
BTW- Someone go explain to Kevin what IRR means and that it is not a draft or conscription. I would, but I can not suffer through his comments section anymore.
