Assured Mobility in the Army's First Stryker Brigade

Abstract

The 3d Brigade, 2d Infantry Division, the Army s first Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT), deployed from its home station in November 2003 for Operation Iraqi Freedom. After training at Camp Udairi, Kuwait, the brigade moved into Iraq and conducted combat operations in the Salah al-Din province (Ad Duluiyah, Balad, and Samarra), located in the Sunni Triangle, and later moved north to the Ninevah province (Mosul and Tall Afar). Due to the complex nature of the conflict in Iraq, the brigade is conducting stability operations and support operations concurrently with combat operations. The enemy s ability to affect mobility with the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) was anticipated. With the organic and attached engineer units and the assured mobility framework, the brigade has been able to effectively deal with the IED threat to its mobility in the city of Mosul.
