Aswer: 15+ A quote from an article by Nancy A. Youssef and Renee Schoof | McClatchy Newspapers on September 12, 2007 would seem to indicate there are problbly 15 to slightly more than 15 combat brigades in Iraq as of April 8, 2008. "In his testimony, Petraeus called for five of the 20 combat brigades in Iraq to leave by next July, bringing the number of brigades down to pre-surge levels of 15 combat brigades. He didn't say how the remaining 15 brigades would translate into troop numbers."

Currently the US Army has ten divisions. 1st Armored, 1st Cavalry, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Infantry, 10th Mountain, 25th Infantry and the 82nd and 101st Airborne. And there are five independent brigades.
With the high mobility of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army needed to make brigades as independent as possible, rather than moving entire divisions as a single unit. By expanding brigades with their own support and multi-branch combat battalions, they could be deployed as a unit without need for further support or attached units. Thus, what was called a Brigade is now called a BCT - Brigade Combat Team.
