This has been in the works for about four months. 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 2ID does not have any Strykers. The Stryker Brigade in Mosul right now is 3rd Brigade, 2ID. 3rd Brigade left Korea back around 1994 and really doesn't have much to do with Korea or the rest of the 2ID. I believe 3rd Brigade was originally intended to relieve both 1st and 2nd Brigades in Korea, but OIF changed that plan.
