Iraq: Summary of U.S. Forces
Summary
This report provides a summary estimate of military forces reported to have
been deployed to and subsequently withdrawn from the U.S. Central Command
(USCENTCOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR), popularly called the Persian Gulf
region, to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. For background information on the
AOR, see [http://www.centcom.mil/aboutus/aor.htm]. Geographically, the
USCENTCOM AOR stretches from the Horn of Africa to Central Asia. The
information about military units that have been deployed and withdrawn is based on
both official government public statements and estimates identified in selected news
accounts.
The statistics have been assembled from both Department of Defense (DOD)
sources and open-source press reports. However, due to concerns about operational
security, DOD is not routinely reporting the composition, size, or destination of units
and military forces being deployed to the Persian Gulf. Consequently, not all the data
herein have been officially confirmed. For further information, see CRS Report
RL31701, Iraq: U.S. Military Operations.
This report will be updated as the situation continues to develop.

Operation Iraqi Freedom Force Rotations
Commencing on December 14, 2004, and continuing on January 4 and January
18, 2005, DOD announced the Operation Iraqi Freedom 4 (OIF 4) troop rotational
units. At a hearing held by the House Committee on Armed Services on July 7,
2004, DOD officials announced the troops rotation plan for Operation Iraqi Freedom
3 (OIF 3). OIF 3 commenced in July 2004 with the stated goal of flowing new active
and reserve forces into the Iraqi theater of operations for up to 12-month rotations,
and eventually reducing U.S. force levels in Iraq from 140,000 to approximately
130,000. According to slides presented at the hearing, units from Operation Iraqi
Freedom 2 (OIF 2 or units currently stationed in Iraq) will transition out, and units
activated for OIF 3 will deploy to Iraq commencing in July 2004 (see Table 3).
Also, on May 17, 2004, DOD announced that approximately 3,600 members of the
2nd Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Division will deploy from the Republic of Korea to
Iraq in mid-summer 2004.4

On January 14, 2004, the USS Boxer5 (LHD 4) deployed from San Diego, CA,
and on January 19, 2004, the USS Bataan6 (LHD 5) deployed from Norfolk, VA.
The mission of both ships was to provide amphibious lift and logistical support for
the OIF 2 force rotation. Both ships completed their OIF 2 troop rotation support
missions. The USS Boxer on April 29, 2004, returned to its homeport in San Diego,
CA; and the USS Bataan on March 31, 2004, returned to its Norfolk, VA, homeport.
Army
Mechanized infantry divisions have 17,000 personnel consisting of three
maneuver brigades (a brigade is 5,000 soldiers) that comprise five tank battalions (a
battalion is 1,000 soldiers) and five mechanized infantry battalions.7
Armored divisions consist of 17, 000 personnel and are similar in organization
and equipment to a mechanized division, however, the three maneuver brigades have
six tank battalions and four mechanized infantry battalions.8 These numbers are
approximate. Army divisions generally deploy with additional support units not
included in division counts.

CRS-6
Navy
The Carrier Strike Group (CSG) does not have an official definition or standard
composition. Battle groups are formed and disestablished by the Navy on an as
needed basis, and one may be different from another. However, they all are
comprised of similar types of ships and aircraft. The U.S. Navy announced on April
9, 2003, that the USS Abraham Lincoln CSG was relieved of duty by the USS Nimitz,
and would be returning to homeport. DOD officials said during a Pentagon briefing
on April 14, 2003, that the USS Constellation and USS Kitty Hawk CSGs were being
withdrawn from the Iraqi theater of operations to return to their homeports. On May
9, 2003, the USS Theodore Roosevelt CSG was ordered to return to homeport, and
on May 15, 2003, the Navy reported that the USS Harry S. Truman CSG had
withdrawn and would return from deployment.
On September 5, 2003, DOD officials said the USS Nimitz CSG was departing
the Persian Gulf to replace the USS Carl Vinson in the Pacific Ocean. On November
3, 2003, the USS Enterprise CSG deployed from the port of Jebel Ali, United Arab
Emirates, for the North Arabian Sea. The USS Enterprise CSG was scheduled to
return to its homeport of Norfolk, VA, on February 29, 2004, and was replaced by
the USS George Washington CSG on February 16, 2004. The USS George
Washington
CSG returned to its Norfolk, VA homeport on July 26, 2004, and was
replaced by the USS John F. Kennedy CSG. The USS John F. Kennedy CSG was
relieved of duty station by the USS Harry S. Truman CSG on November 20, 2004.
The USS Carl Vinson CSG replaced the USS Harry S. Truman CSG on March 19,
2005. The USS Carl Vinson CSG will continue military and maritime operations in
support of OIF. The USS Nimitz CSG replaced the USS Carl Vinson CSG in the
Persian Gulf on July 5, 2005.
Support Ship. The USNS Comfort hospital ship is a 1,000-bed medical
treatment facility capable of providing emergency on-site care for U.S. combatant
forces deployed in war and peacetime operations. The ship is also equipped to
deliver medical care for troops injured in biological and chemical attacks. On May
9, 2003, the Comfort was ordered to return to its homeport in Baltimore, MD.
USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group. Carrier Air Wing 11 consists of 70-80
aircraft including the: F/A-18C Hornet, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, E-2CHawkeye,
EA-6B Prowler, C-2A Greyhound, SH-60F/HH-60H Seahawk.

On July 25, 2003, the Navy ordered the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group to
redeploy from Iraq. On July 25, 2003, President George W. Bush ordered the USS
Iwo Jima to take a position for possible action off the coast of Liberia.
Expeditionary Strike Groups (ESG). Expeditionary Strike Group One,
led by the USS Peleliu Amphibious Assault Ship, is the first ESG to deploy overseas.
The ESG arrived in the USCENTCOM area of responsibility in September 2003 with
the assigned mission of “providing a post-war presence in the region, aid in
peacekeeping, security, and to promote an environment conducive to rebuilding a
new Iraqi government.”13 ESG One was scheduled to return to the United States
during the first week of March 2004. Expeditionary Strike Group Two is led by the
USS Wasp Amphibious Assault Ship — the first ESG to deploy from the East Coast.
ESG Two departed from Norfolk, VA, on February 17, 2004, to replace ESG One.14
Expeditionary Strike Group Three (ESG 3), also known as the Belleau Wood
ESG 3, entered the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet on July 2, 2004, and will assume the duties
of maritime security operations in the Northern Arabian Gulf (NAG). The NAG
security operations include security of the Al Basrah and Khawr Al Amaya Iraqi oil
terminals.15 Expeditionary Strike Group Two was redeployed to its homeport on
August 21, 2004. ESG Three changed flag staff and ships at sea, from the USS
Belleau Wood to the USS Essex. The Essex Expeditionary Strike Group was
officially activated on September 10, 2004, and will be responsible for “Maritme
Security Operations (MSO) in the Northern Arabian Gulf, to include protection of Al
Basrah Oil Terminal (ABOT) and Khawr Oil Terminal (KAAOT) off the coast of
Iraq.”16 The USS Bonhomme Richard ESG arrived in the Persian Gulf on January
26, 2005, to relieve the Essex ESG.17 The USS Kearsarge ESG arrived on station
in the Persian Gulf on May 2, 2005, to replace the USS Bonhomme Richard ESG.
The USS Kearsarge will be conducting maritime security operations.18
