The 5th Security Force Assistance Brigade plans to keep one-third of the unit’s roughly 820 soldiers spread across the Indo-Pacific region at all times, while the rest of the brigade prepares for missions at their home station of Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state.
Right now, the “first one-third is in their ‘mission window,’ and they’re in the process of deploying,†said Brig. Gen. Curt Taylor, 5th SFAB commander, during a recent telephone call with reporters.
Advisers are broken down into small teams of four to 12 soldiers, led by an Army captain who has experience helming company-size formations. The teams will stay deployed to the region for approximately six months at a time.
