Our adopted Stryker company is leading the assault. Please pray for them.

Could it also have something to do with the threat of the Turks coming down after the Kurds to have their whey with them?

"The 3rd Stryker Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Division out of Ft Hood, Washington, is leading the assault."

Hard to keep track of these assignments, but IIRC, they are now out of Fort Carson.

The Hood Canal is Washington, and the 2nd ID (or part of it) was out of Fort Lewis WA. Part (or all?) of the 2nd is now out of Fort Carson.

Can this article be put in the front page listing?

Where’s a good source for updates on this battle? Apparently it’s a big deal, and Baqubah is only the first of it.

Michael Yon is in Baqubah, as well, and mentions a Stryker Brigade battalion commander in his latest dispatch.
