Actually, you are going to get three of the new BCTs.

Bliss is going to get two of the six Infantry BCTs that are going to be activated here in the States and then one of the two Heavy BCTs that will be forming up in Germany will be heading to Bliss in 2012 and the second will be going to White Sands, NM in 2013.

The folks here at Fort Knox were really hoping to get one or two of these brigades, but it looks like that won't be happening.

You're right. It's hard to keep track. We're expecting over 70,000 people associated with the changes. Good for business and the local housing market.

Wonderful. Out of all this, how many actual boots on the ground - that is, infantry soldiers carrying rifles and sweeping villages - will the Army gain?
