Not quite. We do not interpret it that way. It goes further than existing law. Existing law says the units can be deployed for no more than 180 days but under the current law, the time and preparing for that deployment and the time after that deployment to be redeployed, say, another place such as england or somewhere, to be put together so they can be brought home, those times don't count against the 180 days. The Senator's amendment adds a dimension not included in existing law, not more than one deployment in any 360-day period.
