FOB Marez, Mosul --- Tony and I have come to the final week of our time embedded in Iraq. We’ll end with a focus on a small group of soldiers and their lives here.
We’ve been assigned to report on a group within the scout/sniper platoon of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Infantry Regiment.
We’ll spend the next several days with these soldiers, introduce them to readers through stories in The News Tribune and The Olympian, and show what it’s like for them on missions in Mosul.
We’ll also keep an eye on the broader happenings for Fort Lewis soldiers here in Mosul.
This blog probably won’t change much. The intent of it was always more to be personal observations that hopefully complement our stories on the Stryker brigade that appear in the newspapers. There is a link to my stories and Tony’s photos on the right side of this blog.
The idea of focusing the final stories on a small group is to give readers a more personal look at the war and the soldiers asked to fight it.
