Marines May Return to Afghanistan as Advisers This Spring

More than two years after departing Afghanistan as a fighting force, the Marine Corps may be sending troops back into the country in an advisory capacity.
Maj. Gen. John Love, commander of the 2nd Marine Division, in recent months said that an element of the Camp Lejeune-based unit would be deploying to Afghanistan in the spring.
"There is change in the air," Love said at a Marine Corps Association and Foundation awards event in November. "There is a new mission we've picked up in the Marine Corps. We are going to repurpose the infantry regiments against a new mission back in some familiar territory in Afghanistan, a province we've been to before and a location we've been to before."
