Victory Sappers: V Corps/CJTF-7 Engineers in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Part 2: Since the Liberation ...

Abstract

With the fall of Baghdad and the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime in early April 2003, Iraq was liberated. Since then, V Corps and other coalition forces have grown in size and combat power; expanded into and attacked enemy forces throughout the battlespace of Iraq; and conducted humanitarian, civic action, and reconstruction operations simultaneously. The V Corps engineer force of fewer than 4,000 soldiers that attacked into Iraq on 21 March grew to more than 19,000 under Coalition Joint Task Force - 7 (CJTF-7). This engineer force consists of nearly every type of unit within the U.S. Army Engineer Regiment (active duty, National Guard, Reserve, and civilian), as well as engineers from the Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force and from coalition forces.
