So 2000 soldiers comes out to about 7.5% of their total military in Iraq. They have 6,873 conscripts in the lower ranks. I would imagine they probably would have to volunteer to go to Iraq which I'm sure they have no problem filling. When I would talk to my ROK Army colleagues they all wanted to volunteer to go to Iraq in order to an actual real world mission along with the deployment pay.

That must be about 5% of their total active duty forces. Geargian military is doing their best to imitate US military much as possible even wearing the "hand me down" uniforms from US Army and Marines. They have 18 month Conscript soldiers in the lower Enlisted rank. I think these Conscript soldiers have to volunteer to serve in Iraq. I don't think its mandatory for a short enlistment. 2000 troops in Iraq?
