Patrol Operations, OIF I, Kirkut, Iraq, 10/21/2003 till 02/15/2004

Abstract

I deployed to Iraq during Operation Iraq Freedom I. I will talk about my experiences deploying as part of the United States Army Europe, Immediate Ready Force (USAREUR IRF). My unit was A Company, 1st battalion 63rd Armor Regiment (Assassins). I was attached to 173rd Airborne BDE out of Vincinza, Italy. Through out the year we managed to rotate a Battalion of Soldiers in and out of theater to fill a fighting force the size of a company. I will talk about the train up prior to, upon redeployment, detail my companys outstanding job during our last mission before the 25th INF DIV relieved us. I will conclude with the tasking my company received when we redeployed.
