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.

Combat Fatality

The Department of Defense announced the death of 2nd BCT Marine.

1st Lt. Matthew D. Lynch, of the 2/5 Marines, was killed on 10.31.2004 in the Anbar province from enemy action. Lt. Lynch was from Jericho, NY. He was 25 years old. Our hearts go out to his family.

Lt. Lynch is the 8th reported 2/5 Marine killed while serving our country in Iraq since their current deployment began in September, and the 23rd serviceman reported killed under the 2nd BCT command in Iraq. A tribute to the fallen soldiers and Marines is found on the Family Readiness Group site.
