Multi-National Corps – Iraq FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Operation Varsity March leads to capture of suspect (Sayafiyah) By Spc. Ben Hutto, 3rd HBCT, 3rd Inf. Div. PAO Multi-National Division – Center PAO FORWARD OPERATING BASE HAMMER, Iraq – Soldiers from Company B, 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, captured 13 suspected extremists during a nighttime air assault mission in Sayafiyah, Iraq, a small village outside of Salman Pak, Nov. 24. One of the detainees was a high-value individual, who is a member of al-Qaeda in Iraq wanted for weapons smuggling and financing attacks on Coalition Forces in Salman Pak and Al Ja’ara. “According to our intelligence, the insurgent we apprehended was an expert bomb maker and VBIED (vehicle borne improvised explosive device) maker,” said 1st Lt. Matthew Barwick, from Lanham, Md., fire support officer for Co. B. “By apprehending him, we have taken a very dangerous person off the streets and made the area safer.” During the course of the operation Co. B Soldiers cleared eight houses and barns while searching for the suspects. “The operation went perfectly,” said Spc. Lyle Johnson, from Comanche, Okla., an indirect fire specialist in Co. B. “We cleared all of our objectives and got the number one HVI and 12 of his partners. We did all of this without firing a shot, so I’d say it was a good operation.” The 1-15th Inf. Regt. is part of the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Benning, Ga., and has been deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom since March.

Ever notice how very few of these leaders of al Qaeda or JAM ever put up a fight? They do not believe on word of the #@$%## they are shoveling.
I just can’t believe they’d take a pass on all those wirgins.
Must not like wirgins...
Oh, perhaps they’re the wrong sex. Hmmm...
FR WAR NEWS! Resistance is futile :) (But of course you are right. They don't believe a thing they say.)
AIR ASSAULT! These guys are good. The Iraqi Forces will actually be given a chance to stand up, because Americans led the way. No stopping it now, Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, Klobachar, or any other elected Democrat, who are not loyal to the American Troops serving in the combat zones.
They're full of false bravado. When it's *their* butt on the line... UP go the hands and the snivelling begins.
yay!!
As I understand it, the technique is to conduct a low-level flyover with several Apaches then insert the assault force. Anyone with a brown spot on the back of their dishdasha is apprehended as a suspect.
This says the 3rd ID is from FT Benning. I thought they were based in FT Stewart. Anybody know what gives?
The 3rd ID website still shows Ft. Stewart.
Half or more of the Middle-East's problems are caused by such machismo.
...cultures of momma's boys.
Their operational security/doctrine is broken. No 24/7 watches/patrols, for instance.
It's a very static mindset. They may plot to ram car bombs and plant mines, yet not plan for their own operational security/defense...or their plan might be to have the *same* jihadi stand watch every night (and then he's sick or bored or complacent or gone AWOL and suddenly they've got nothing again).
