The Army Times reported: A brigade will deploy to Africa next year in a pilot program that assigns brigades on a rotational basis to regions around the globe, the Army announced in May. Roughly 3,000 soldiers — and likely more — are expected to serve tours across the continent in 2013, training foreign militaries and aiding locals. As part of a “regionally aligned force concept,” soldiers will live and work among Africans in safe communities approved by the U.S. government, said Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg, head of U.S. Army Africa. Tours could last a few weeks or months and include multiple missions at different locations, he said. The Army has not announced which brigade would deploy or where the soldiers would come from. As the Afghanistan war winds down, the new readiness model affords Army units more time to learn regional cultures and languages and train for specific threats and missions.
The military is NOT meals on wheels, NOT a police force, NOT a kiddy daycare. They kill people and break things!!!!!

Once you get a Pentagon assignment you are a political beast, no longer a soldier. They are too worried about their career to be forceful.
