Their equipment was shipped out over a month ago. It was destined for Turkey but wasn't offloaded according to local reports. They're may ship out any time now.

It takes a lot to move a division of troops and their equipment several thousand miles. It just isn't practical to move very heavy equipment like M1 tanks in aircraft because they weight about 73 tons each. Even a giant plane like the C-5 or C-17 can typically only carry a single M1 tank and there just aren't that many of the planes to go around.

Instead, very heavy equipment is usually loaded on to trains to a port then loaded onto ships for the trip overseas. The best ships for the job are the ROROs (Roll On, Roll Off) transports, but there aren't very many of them. Once at the destination port, the equipment is offloaded and usually loaded onto trains or special flatbed tractor trailer rigs to be driven to the staging area. The whole process can take weeks.

Ideally, we would've had a lot more troops and equipment in place before the fighting started. However, there were competing factors like how additional delay would've pushed us deeper into the sandstorm season and much higher summer temperatures (meaning you need about 4 times the water per person, among other problems.) The delay in the UN, especially that caused by French perfidy, reduced the time available to get the troops and their equipment deployed.

In addition to the logistics problems, you have to allow for staggered deployment of personnel. This allows you to rotate units off of the front lines for a time to get some rest and to refit, like what the 3/7th is doing right now. They've rotated behind the FEBA for a 72 hour period to perform needed maintenance, get a little rest, and get reloaded. They've sure earned it.
