Additional military units heading to Baghdad - namely the 1st Armored Division, based in Germany - were intended to replace the 3rd Infantry Division and other units that fought the war, but Myers said Monday that they "may" replace units now in Iraq.
This doesn't bode well for the soldiers of the 3d Infantry Division who must be just sick of the place by now...nor does it do much for my optimism that CPT Patti's deployment might be a relatively short one.
But this article indicates the 3d Infantry Division only extending until june...heck, it will be June before the entire 1AD is in Baghdad. So it seems that any extension by the 3d ID is only a matter of a couple of weeks at most.
