In the sands of Iraq the 3rd Brigade Stryker Brigade Combat Team proved the value of the Stryker brigade concept in combat and logistics operations.During the late spring of 2004, many of the soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Division's 2d Brigade Combat Team were given notice that they were about to be ordered to further deployment, with duty in Iraq. Units involved in this call-up included: ; 1st Battalion, (Air Assault); 2d Battalion, 17th Field Artillery Regiment; 1st Battalion, (Mechanized);; 2nd Forward Support Battalion; Company A, 102nd Military Intelligence Battalion; Company B, elements of the 2d Battalion, 72nd Armor Regiment, a team from the 509th Personnel Services Battalion, and B Battery, 5th Battalion (Deployed as a combination of mechanized infantry and light infantry with two platoons of Bradley Fighting Vehicles and 1 platoon of armored HMMWVs).

Furthermore, time was given for the majority of the soldiers to enjoy ten days of leave.
This was vital: many of the soldiers had been in South Korea for a year or more with only two weeks or less time in the United States during their stay of duty.
