      The JAGs themselves are literally lawyers so their likelihood of seeing combat is next to nothing
      When they deploy it's to deal with time sensitive issues regarding conduct especially if anybody breaks UCMJ or even commits war crimes while on deployment (I don't know this for a fact but it would make sense)
      Enlisted members in a JAG unit work as paralegals/legal assistants, they're significantly less likely to see combat but it wouldn't be unheard of for them to be crosstrained into a combat unit for deployment (I mean heck there was a time when air force enlistees got crosstrained into army infantry units in Afghanistan lol)

    When my team deployed to Afghanistan in early 2002, they kept sending us for updated shots etc... and insisting that there were no orders and no one knew what was going to happen. Then they called all of us on a Sunday night and told us we would be leaving from Pope AFB on Tuesday morning. We were in woodland cammo for months after we got there.

    The timeless army brief.
    So much of this never changes.
    I trained in NTC in SUMMER (you know, to squeeze every last bit of heat out of the extreme hot, dry desert) to do a WINTER rotation in Camp Casey, South Korea. (cold, humid forest) high humidity and high winds meant wind chill kept you nice and chill. Just like the Vodka in the freezer.
    We really stood out with our sand colored tanks in that green, forested, training area, but I guess once the snow hit, it wouldn't have made any difference if our vehicles were tan or green.

      The Iraqi oil is once again being sold for Dollars as intended and of course as the nation who controls the dollar we in the United States benefit from that. Every nation does really. But especially us. Dont worry. We definitely got something out of it
