Stop Loss

Actually, at the start, they didn't have enough people to carry out the mission they eventually undertook. In other words, the plan was undermanned from the start and that is part of the current problem. They are trying to insist that the keeping the current soldiers is not only more cost effective than training and deploying replacements but it also gives you an already-present population of soldiers that are experienced with the country's culture, terrain, ect. It's a quick cure to solve earlier miscalculation and poor planning.
