My guess is a lot of those being sent are construction and heavy equipment battalions. (Field kitchens, too? Sanitation? Medical?)

And I think there is a benefit for these units as they get to deploy into real situations and accomplish real goals. Benefits to the command and control guys, coordination with other units/providers, as well as the construction companies.

Not going to get training like this pushing dirt around at Fort Campbell! “Good training!” as we say in the Army.
