Primary search links

These searches and links usually provide over 90% of the 2nd BCT articles posted here. I usually update the blog daily, but do not link any articles mentioning Soldier or Marine fatalities until the Department of Defense has released the names, often 1-3 days after the initial press releases. The search links are provided here for anyone wishing for more current news in such circumstances.

(please note that these "news" searches often give results from several dubious sites that regularly post information that is proven wrong or questionable with time, and in some cases the stories are extreme propaganda with no factual basis).
