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.

The buildup around Fallujah continues. Estimates of the number of coalition forces in the area range from 25,000 to 35,000, with one U.S. official stating that "10,000 to 15,000 of those troops were immediately around Fallujah."

An AP Article states that "troops from the Army's 2nd Infantry Division are expected to seal off western approaches to the city."

A variety of stories on the buildup discuss military preparations, glimpses inside Fallujah, and potential strategies:
