Pentagon names units that'll deploy first in Afghan 'surge' McClatchy: "The Pentagon on Monday announced which troops would be among the first of the 30,000-35,000 additional troops to head to Afghanistan.
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates began working on the orders last week on the flight back from the United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., where he'd watched President Obama announce the new strategy.
In all, the Pentagon announced Monday the deployment of 16,200 troops."
