      Update from the Front: 2nd Heavy Brigade Combat Team in Iraq

      June 2, 2010
      7:30 pm

      Join us as Lieutenant Colonel Richardson, from the 2nd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, discusses his unit’s recent deployment to the northwest Baghdad area in Iraq. During their 12-month deployment in fall of 2008, the 2nd HBCT provided security during Iraq's provincial elections, witnessed the celebrations of Iraqi sovereignty, and the beginning of force withdrawals. Despite the resistance from terrorist cells and the dangers of roadside bombs, “Dagger” soldiers, and leaders prevailed in protecting Iraqi citizens, partnering with Iraqi security forces, and providing the foundation for the new Iraqi government to legitimately lead their nation.
