The unit being alerted for deployment to Afghanistan is the 33rd Brigade Combat Team of the Illinois National Guard. He also noted that the overall level of effort in the country will remain the same, as all units being alerted, Oct. This will simplify the command and control for that mission and improve efficiency, he said. In the case of the brigades that will take over the security force mission, they will be replacing about 160 smaller units that are currently conducting it, Whitman said. Whitman noted that many of these units knew they were coming up in the rotation and will "continue their training now with a clear focus that they're headed to Iraq." The units are being alerted well in advance of their mobilization to ensure they have adequate time for training and that employers and families have plenty of notice, he said. The first of these brigades will not deploy until summer, and many will not deploy until late 2008 or 2009, Whitman said. The brigade that will conduct detention operations is the 50th Brigade Combat Team, New Jersey National Guard.
