2nd BCT involved in Operation Tiger

There are two new articles on the 2nd BCT FRG Page:

One of the articles discusses the recent start of the Rest and Relaxation Leave Program for 2nd BCT soldiers. "Our Soldiers have been fighting in tough conditions. For many, this is longest they’ve been away from home, and most have already been in Korea for a year," said Maj. Tom Huse, brigade adjutant, 2nd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. "The Soldiers out here have gone above and beyond their call to duty, so this is a well-deserved break."

The other article identifies the 1-503rd as the Army unit that uncovered and diffused the explosive-laden youth center in Ramadi as part of Operation Tiger, a brigade-level operation in Ramadi aiming "to sweep parts of the city for improvised explosive device cells, weapons caches, and enemy fighters." Another unnamed unit was responsible for finding an arms cache in a nearby mosque. "Our Soldiers are really pumped about this mission," said Lt. Col. Justin Gubler, commander of the 1-503rd. "Today they know they really made a difference." In addition, 50 suspected insurgents were detained in the sweep.
