Most of 2005 thru early 2006, I actually never knew they were "numbers" for OIF deployments until I read thru this thread. I guess this would be 2 or 3? View Quote 05-06 would have been OIF 3. The numbering system was very loosely built on the year long tours and focused on MND-B with the initial invasion being 1, 1CD/3Corps being 2, 3ID/XVIII Corps being 3, etc. It likely went away as soon as we started pushing all sorts of random divisions and BCTs in and out at different times, thus breaking up what folks thought would be a nice easy "war". I don't know as I only did the Iraq thing for a year, hung out in Afghanistan for a couple of tax free vacations though. |
