Each Infantry BCT will have 3,500 soldiers, while the Heavy BCTs will each have 4,200 troops. This means a total gain of 29,200 soldiers in these eight brigades.

In addition, a number of the other new units will be MPs, engineers, field artillery, and aviation, all of whom are extremely valuable on the ground.

How many of these 29,200 soldiers will be physically walking patrol as opposed to doing other duties?
