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.

Ft. Carson Forward Detachment Information

Please note the comment below from Lyn Taylor, one of the moderators of the 2nd BCT Desert Strike Support Group. Key quote: "The spouse can NOT call to get on the housing list, they have to appear in person at Carson for this. This memo that was sent out has been amended. They can fax their POA to be reviewed to receive orders if the soldier ok'd them to receive them." Thanks for the update, Lyn.
===================
Amanda Hartwig left a comment on this blog with information regarding the Forward Detachment at Ft. Carson. Here is the comment text:

"I thought that it might be helpful for many family members to post the link for the Forward Detachment at Fort Carson. It is www.carson.army.mil/2BCT/.
The orders are also in and can be requested from the Fort Carson at this time. You can fax your request for orders along with a General Power of Attorney to 719-526-1406. To be placed on the waiting list at Fort Carson, spouses may call (719) 226-2268 [previous sentence no longer correct, see comment below]. If people have questions they can contact the FRG at 877-537-0383/719-526-1361, or by email at rene.hughes@carson.army.mil or ricardo.ocasio@carson.army.mil."

Thanks, Amanda. There is now a permanent link to the Forward Detachment Site on the right side-bar of this blog. Note that the Desert Strike FRG site is still the main FRG resource for the 2nd BCT.

    Ryan,
    Unfortunately there is some incorrect info in this post about pcs'ing to Carson. The spouse can NOT call to get on the housing list, they have to appear in person at Carson for this. This memo that was sent out has been amended. They can fax their POA to be reviewed to receive orders if the soldier ok'd them to receive them. Wanted to make sure the correct info got out.
