Army Times reports that “as many as 10,800 U.S. troops — 1,000 more than originally planned — will remain in Afghanistan in the New Year.”

“They’ll also deploy to Iraq, Europe and the Pacific.”

“The transition from Operation Enduring Freedom to Resolute Support will happen Jan. 1, as the Afghan National Security Forces take full responsibility for security in the country.”
