2nd BCT works with 3rd LAR Marine Battalion
The Desert Strike FRG site has new pictures from an "Operation Night Fury", conducted in Ramadi by 2nd ID soldiers on 12.4.2004. No specifics on the operation have been published.
In one of the pictures 2nd BCT Commander Col. Gary S. Patton is discussing plans with the commanding officer of the Marine 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, Lt. Col. Stephen Dinauer. The 3rd LAR operates under the 1st Marine Division along with the 2nd BCT, and the units mission "is to conduct reconnaissance, security, limited offensive, and defensive operations as directed by the division or supported commander." The battalion was involved in the November invasion of Fallujah.

It appears this Marine unit has a bit more armoured troop carriers than our guys. With the recent hits the 1/503 and 1/506 have taken lately, this is a welcome addition. From the looks of things around combat outpost, maybe some more would be a good idea.
Thanks
