2nd BCT Media Links

This blog centralized media links for the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division during its deployment from Korea to Iraq as part of OIF 2.5, Aug 2004 - July 2005. It was updated daily over the year, with only sporadic updates since. It is left on-line for historical interest (although many links are likely now broken) and as a tribute to the 2nd BCT servicemen who lost their lives serving in Iraq. May they rest in peace and may their legacy be forever remembered.

New offensives in Ramadi

Several news articles discuss recent and current offensives in Ramadi. To piece the time-line together:

- ABC News indicates the 10.12.2004 raids on mosques "followed two days of clashes in the city." Arabicnews.com reports that Iraqi National Guard and U.S. Troops focused on mosques that "sheltered what it called terrorists and contained shelters for hiding weapons."
- Al Jazeera indicates that U.S. troops entered Ramadi on 10.13.2004, blocking off streets and searching downtown buildings, the day after the mosque raids.
- Al Jazeera reports again that U.S. troops moved into Ramadi and some of the reported activity. The article includes a picture of a U.S. soldier in action.
- The Boston Globe reports that "gunfire subsided Thursday morning [10.14.2004] and U.S. forces withdrew from the city center, residents said."
