CAMP STRIKER — Iraqi army soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 22nd Brigade, 6th Iraqi army division recovered caches containing more than a dozen mortar rounds and components near Shakariyah on April 2.
A local Iraqi approached the intelligence officer for 3/22/6 IA div. with information on the location of two weapon caches. An IA scout platoon accompanied the officer and citizen to the site where the munitions were found.
The caches included one 121 mm mortar, one 120 mm mortar, 12 60 mm mortars, 42 82 mm mortar fins, two rocket-propelled grenade warheads and a box containing 119 rounds of rifle ammunition.

See, the Iraqis want us out. Why else would they risk their own lives to tell us where the deadly weapons are stored? They must want all the deadly weapons rounded up so we will leave. (Hopefully the sarcasm is apparent)
I see the 3-101 BCT PAO corrected their IA unit ID.
The previous two reports on 3-22 IA Bn listed it as part of 11th IA Div.
Guess they acted on my correction e-mail despite claiming there was no error in their reply...
