GIs claim threat by Army `
GlobalSecurity.org continues its role as a repository of direct and detailed public information of military, strategic and technological concren with a simple story from 3rd Brigade Combat Team at Fort Carson: GIs claim threat by Army: "Soldiers say they were told to re-enlist or face deployment to Iraq"
The .mil spokesman says, effectively, "no, we just told them they might get transferred and sent to Iraq."
Kudos to GlobalSecurity for actually printing the text of the form (Dan Rather, take note):
• "Elect not to extend or re-enlist and understand that the soldier will be reassigned IAW (in accordance with) the needs of the Army by Department of the Army HRC (Human Resources Command) . . . or Fort Carson G1 (Personnel Office).''
WHAT IT MEANS
• Soldiers who sign the letter are bound to the 3rd Brigade Combat Team until Dec. 31, 2007.
• Soldiers who do not sign the letter might be transferred out of the brigade and possibly to Iraq.
