THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD

And though they will try to minimize it, we should all expect a reduction in our abilities after the change takes place. The new troops don't have the year's experience that the one's leaving do.
When inbound units arrive in the theater, they will spend two weeks in Kuwait to link up with equipment and to acclimatize. When they arrive at their Iraqi "battle stations," there will be a two-week handoff between the units. This will make sure all personnel get the benefit of the experience of the departing unit.
