Army seeks additional CAB to reach dwell goal

Army seeks additional CAB to reach dwell goal: "In order to meet the Army's dwell-time goal, the service will add a new combat aviation brigade.

'That's coming out of resources we already have; we are still wrestling with where that's going to go, where that's going to stand up,' said Maj. Gen. James O. Barclay III, commanding general of the Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Rucker, Ala.

'That will help some in the fight,' he said. 'That's one of the small steps we are taking as we are trying to align and ensure with all (components) that we can meet and try to get at what General Casey's goal is: one to two.'"
