Challenges of OIF for an Infantry Heavy Weapons Company
Abstract
This paper will deal with the challenges I had in deploying a Delta Company of an Infantry Battalion of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). It will deal specifically with the pre-deployment, deployment, preparation and execution phases of the initial strike into Iraq. It is a story of men, trained in the art of combat, who in many instances had to take a step back and realize everything was not as we had trained so long and hard for. We realized when your call came, often it is the men who can adapt and overcome, who have the foresight to make changes when everything in our culture suggests otherwise.
