The team took a convoy of HETTs to pick up 14 BMP-1s in order to stand up a new Mechanized Battlaion for the Iraqi Army. Our crew rode along to provide support and security. We had a few small arms contacts, but no casualties. Of course it rained hard all the way there- and all the way back. Typical.
