| Description | An Army brigade whose deployment to Iraq was put on hold just last month - triggering talk that a U.S. troop cut might be in the offing - is now scheduled to be sent there this summer, a defense official said Wednesday.
The move suggests that American commanders are sticking largely to their original plan for early summer troop rotations, leaving unclear when and if a sizable reduction in U.S. troop levels will begin this year.
The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. George Casey, said last year that he expected "fairly substantial" reductions this spring and summer so long as progress on the political and security fronts remained on track.
