3,200 Marines Prepare for Afghan Tour
Lolita C. Baldor reports for The Associated Press: "Military officials said Monday that about 3,200 Marines are being told to prepare to go to Afghanistan - a move that will boost combat troop levels in time for an expected Taliban offensive this spring. Once complete, the deployment would increase US forces in Afghanistan to as much as 30,000, the highest level since the 2001 invasion after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon."
