82nd Airborne Division headed to Iraq for nine months

"Paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division will deploy this summer to Iraq to join about 1,250 soldiers from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team already there to back the U.S.'s intervention against the Islamic State.
About 500 paratroopers from the division headquarters will leave in June for a nine-month deployment in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, Fort Bragg said in a news release........"
So that's almost 2,000 troops just from the 82nd. Sure getting to be a lot of "non-combat/no boots on the ground" folks over there.
