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 a 2nd BCT Marine.

Lance Cpl. Chad B. Maynard, of the 1/5 Marines, was killed near Ramadi on 6.15.2005 when "his vehicle hit an improvised explosive device while conducting combat operations." According to A Multi-National Force-Iraq news release, 5 Marines were killed during the 6.15.2005 attack, infering that Lance Cpl. Maynard was in the same vehicle as Lance Cpl. Jonathan Flores, Cpl. Jesse Jaime, Cpl. Tyler Trovillion, and Lance Cpl. Dion Whitley. Lance Cpl. Maynard was from Montrose, CO. He was 19 years old.

Lance Cpl. Maynard is the 10th 1/5 Marine, and the 94th 2nd BCT serviceman, to die in Iraq while serving our country. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family.
