(TFO Press Release)

MOSUL, IRAQ (January 4, 2005) – Elements of the 82nd Airborne Division, the 81st Enhanced Separate Brigade, 6th Brigade of Iraqi Commandos and additional elements of the 25th Infantry Division reinforced Task Force Olympia and began combined Iraqi Security Force and Multi-National Force operations to ensure security for the January 30 elections.

Currently there are 12 combat battalions of both Iraqi Security Forces and Multi-National Forces operating in Multi-National Brigade Northwest.

All units in Mosul operate under the command and control of Task Force Olympia within Multi-National Brigade Northwest area of operations.

The increase in MNF and ISF will ensure security and stability during the elections as Iraqis participate in the first-ever democratic election in Iraq.

She's at Ft. Riley Kansas right now. They may be attached to Airborne. Like I said, it's confusing just trying to remember if it's a unit, or a brigade, or a battalion, LOL! I know what her platoon is, she's in the 70th engineers, HHC, decon platoon.
