The largest movement of soldiers and materials in more than four decades has been undertaken in Iraq, recently. 20,000 soldiers, at least a sixth of the force in Iraq, have been assigned to dismantling 300 military bases, and shipping out 1.5 million pieces of equipment. During this process, the army must also sustain its force of some 124,000 troops. Although a major reduction of troops is not scheduled until after the January national elections, the preparations are already being seen throughout the country.
