As of September 2005 the Pentagon had not released details of the OIF-4 rotation, apparently pending resolution of force level objectives for the year 2006. Consequently, this display is getting a bit stale, and any input on updates would be greatly appreciated, consistent with OPSEC. In August 2005 Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker, the Army chief of staff, for said that the Army had contingency plans for having more than 100,000 US troops in Iraq through 2009. At that time, the Pentagon planned to raise overall troop levels to about 160,000 for the October 2005 referendum and December 2005 election. | |||||
