Covering the Stryker Brigade from Fort Lewis in Iraq
Friday, October 13th, 2006
Posted by Sean Cockerham @ 01:39:45 pm
FOB Q-West __ This base is only about an hour south of Mosul. But it’s an entirely different world.
Long roads seem to lead forever through featureless desert. There are no real cities, just villages where people in mud brick huts tend sheep.
Fort Lewis soldiers from the 1-37 Field Artillery are stationed here. There are IED’s but not nearly as many attacks as Mosul.
It looks like there are some interesting things going on around here, and we'll spend time with soldiers from 1-37.
