Pentagon extends troops tours in Iraq by three months
The Pentagon extended by three months the tours of about 20,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, mainly from the 1st Armored Division and the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. The move breaks a pledge of 12 month tours and reflects the insurgency’s impact on plans to shrink the U.S. force this spring. Soldiers from Fort Polk and Fort Bragg, plus units from Fort Lewis, were affected.
