announcement for the next rotation of one corps headquarters, two
division headquarters and two brigade combat teams in support of
Operation Iraqi Freedom. Additionally, the Department of Defense
extended one unit in Iraq and added approximately 2,000 combat support

some of its subordinate elements is part of a routinely scheduled
rotation of forces. No stranger to this mission, the XVIII Airborne
Corps Headquarters last saw duty as the Multi-National Corps
Headquarters from February 2005 - February 2006.
