| 2023-08-29 [Shafaq News] The U.S. 82nd Airborne Division will undertake a deployment mission in the U.S. Central Command area of operations, which includes Iraq, during the fall of this year, according to the American newspaper "Fayetteville Observer." The American report noted that this military deployment is part of the regular rotation process among U.S. Army divisional forces. The 82nd Airborne Division will replace the 185th Reconnaissance Airborne Division of the National Guard in Mississippi. The report quoted a blurb as saying that about 1,500 soldiers, aircraft, and ground equipment from the "Fort Bragg" division in North Carolina will continue their operations as part of "Operation Inherent Resolve," providing advice, assistance, and enabling partner forces in the region. The report highlighted that the mission of the Joint Task Force assigned to "Operation Inherent Resolve" is to defeat ISIS through local partners in Iraq and Syria. As part of the preparations for this deployment, the 82nd Airborne Division completed over 1,800 flight hours and conducted three major collective training exercises. Colonel Kirsten Schuining, the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, was quoted as saying that his troops are ready to assume the mission "and continue to enhance our security cooperation" with partner forces. Colonel Schuining explained, "Our soldiers and aviators are training hard, and they are ready to enhance our enduring commitment to the security and regional defense of our regional partners."

| #16 #14 When did we stand up "the 185th Reconnaisance Airborne Division"? There is a 185th Aviation Regiment that's part of the Mississippi National Guard. This must be part of the "Look, it's a tank!"! (points to Humvee) school of military journalism. and who believed the word "division" is something they couldn't learn in math class. |

| #13 Same with the 101st. They are in Poland, Romania and Ft. Campbell. Both the 82nd and 101st used to be our QRF (Quick Reaction Force) where one brigade was on DRF1 status at all times (Deployment Ready Force 1) where all your stuff is packed, vehicles palatized and the entire brigade and equipment can be wheels up in 24 hours. Seems that system died during the GWOT |

| #12 So the 82nd is now scattered across Poland, Iraq and Ft Bragg (I won’t use the new name) at a minimum. That makes for efficient communication, command, control and logistics networks |

| #11 /\ Three command billets, a special staff assignment, all in six years. Looks like a carefully managed career path, and the divisional unit changes are a hint of the General Officer track someone has for her. Yet another 'perfumed princess.' Shocking I tell you. Shocking ! |

| #10 Sadly, her credentials and KSAs will all be suspect as a WOKE candidate, whereas she may really be a decent choice. In briefly looking for her bio however, I noted she was in the 1st Cav Division ID as an GS Aviation Bn Cdr, the 1st Inf Div as an GS Aviation Bn Cdr, the 3rd ID as the EEO Program Director, the 82nd AB Div as the Avn Brigade XO and now Brigade Commander, all in the period from 2017-2023. Three command billets, a special staff assignment, all in six years. Looks like a carefully managed career path, and the divisional unit changes are a hint of the General Officer track someone has for her. |

| #9 OK, so this is a brigade or regimental sized move, not the division. |

| #6 So, unless SHE'S a tranny, entirely possible under the Austin/Milley Pronouns Regime, K(h)irsten is a woman. And the following is wrong: Colonel Kirsten Schuining, the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, was quoted as saying that his troops are ready to assume the mission |
