We also had other units in theater:
- Brigade HQ
- Service Battalion
- Provincial Reconstruction Team, consisting of Construction Engineers, Combat Engineers, a Recce element, a Rifle Coy, Logistics, etc
- Operational Mentor and Liaison Team, with Infantry, Artillery, Recce, Military Police, Logistics and Command elements
- Intelligence unit
- Military Police Detachment (Detention Center)
Finally, we commanded the following elements at different periods:
- Regional Command (South): Div HQ
- Role 3 Hospital at KAF
If we had deployed just a Battle Group, it would have been much easier. But we ended up with well over half a Brigade deployed (some 3000 at the peak) and it became very taxing on some elements of the Army, like Logs, Combat Support and Command. Combat Arms were doing fairly well during that period, with Soldiers volunteering for multiple tours, and asking for more.
