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 photos on FRG page

There are several photos on the FRG site of last week's operation in Ramadi, dubbed Operation Tiger. There is also a corresponding article. The operation was a "a brigade-level operation to sweep parts of the city for improvised explosive device cells, weapons caches, and enemy fighters." 2nd BCT troops "discovered and diffused an explosive-laden youth center in Ramadi that was rigged by insurgents", "discovered a large quantity of munitions and weapons at another local mosque" (the single largest find since the 2nd BCT redeployed to Iraq), and detained around 50 suspected insurgents.

The article also defined the current 2nd BCT mission: "The brigade is responsible for quelling the insurgency in Ramadi and outlying areas within Al-Anbar Province and providing safety and security in the area so the provincial government can establish local control."
