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.

Articles 7.11.2005

The Stars & Stripes has an article on the transformation of the 2nd ID in Korea to a new 'Unit of Execution'. Part of the transformation was the inactivation of the Engineer Brigade, which contained the 44th Eng before it was redeployed to Korea. The Engineer Brigade had been heavily involved with training the 2nd BCT for its redeployment and closing several bases around Korea.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports on several attacks across Iraq, including one in Ramadi: "In the fifth suicide attack only the bomber died when he detonated his car bomb near a US-manned checkpoint in Ramadi, also west of Baghdad, the military said."
