A class mate told me once that the army had training units for people who do not want to go to iraq and all they do is stay in the country and train for the entire time of their contract is this true?

There is one unit nearby where I live that responds to Domestic BioChem terrorist attacks only, so doesn't deploy. I believe its the 307th BIDS in NJ. It is a reserve unit and you have to go to Chemical Corps school in Ft. Wood. There are other BIDS units around the country. Also, there are several National Guard/Active Duty units throughout the country that are active, train all the time, get civilian vehicles, and get to do their jobs at major events like football games. Basically, they use their equipment and make sure there isn't a BioChemNuclear terrorist threat, and respond if necessary. I'm sure there are others in other branches, but I know of this because I was Chemical Corps myself.

The personnel assigned as training cares are those who have already been deployed and have returned to pass on "lessons learned" to new personnel.

yes there is a Tradoc (training command) for the USA and people who tend to go there stay there for a long while. but if your fresh outta boot youll be going to a line unit.
