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 Department of Defense Announced the deaths of two 2nd BCT soldiers.

Staff Sgt. Michael B. Shackelford and Sgt. Carl Lee, of the 1-503rd, where killed in Ramadi on 11.28.2004 when their unit was conducting a dismounted patrol and they encountered enemy forces using small arms fire. Staff Sgt. Shackelford, of Grand Junction, CO, was 25 years old. Sgt. Lee, of Oklahoma City, OK, was 23 years old.

Staff Sgt. Shackelford and Sgt. Lee were the 5th and 6th soldiers of the 1-503rd, and the 38th and 39th 2nd BCT servicemen, to die in Iraq while serving our country. Our deepest condolences go out to their families.
