MEDEVAC crews under fire save 5 Soldiers
CAMP STRIKER – Aero-medical evacuation crews from Task Force Marne faced down enemy gunfire to deliver five injured Soldiers to safety Jan. 18.
In relentless pursuit of the enemy
We are currently in the middle of our largest operation yet, and the magnificent Soldiers of 2nd Brigade Combat Team – the Spartans – are leading the charge for Op-eration Marne Thunderbolt.
3rd HBCT engineers up for top awards
FOB HAMMER – Their job is one of the most dangerous in the Army. They call themselves “bomb hunters,” and that’s exactly what they do. Other Soldiers rely on them to keep the roads safe for combat patrols throughout the Mada’in Qada, the 3rd Heavy Brigaof operation.
4th FA troops destroy enemy safehouses
FOB Hammer – Nine 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team rockets destroyed three insurgent safehouses near Salman Pak Jan. 18.
