Iraq war strains US military as long conflict unfolds
The Iraq campaign began with swift air strikes but devolved into a protracted fight. Insurgents persist, demanding manpower with 100000 troops in Iraq, a cancelled $39 billion helicopter program, and budget pressures delaying key weapons. National Guard and Reserve mobilizations surge, with 155,028 troops activated by Feb 25 and 40 percent of forces in Iraq expected to be Guard or Reserve.
