Deployment

The Essex Amphibious Ready Group and the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit just wrapped up a deployment.

About 400 U.S. troops will stay in Syria, split between the northeast and a base near the Jordanian border.

Those who have been unable to deploy for 12 consecutive months will be flagged for separation consideration.

New deployment locations and rotations in Asia could be on the way.

The survey queried more than 10,000 people between April and June of last year.

"Alexander Hamilton would be proud."

Milley said that the second of six SFABs is finishing up its training at Fort Polk, Louisiana, for the deployment.

While the troops are staying on, the mission is changing.
