No Longer on the Street...

Half-way through the week...on we go...battle rhythm humming...

A fairly quiet news day for the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment. No photos to share tonight...

However, one article did catch my eye. It is a look at some outstanding work conducted by the 1st Squadron, 2nd SCR in concert with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division.

Tip of the hat to the 1-2 SCR! Nice job guys...keep the pressure on...

BAGHDAD – Multi-National Division – Baghdad Soldiers detained a suspected extremist cell member for involvement in the detonation of an explosively formed penetrator device in northeast Baghdad Jan. 18.

The detonation occurred near a MND-Baghdad patrol in northeast Baghdad’s Ur neighborhood and killed a mother and her child.

Soldiers from 1st Squadron, 2nd Stryker Calvary Regiment, working with 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, received intelligence on an EFP cell and immediately responded to detain the individual responsible for the killings, along with five of his associates.

“We have evidence this individual has killed innocent women and children,” said Maj. Ed Brouse, effects coordinator for 2nd BCT. “Thanks to the hard work of the War Eagle Squadron, this killer and his fellow thugs are no longer on the street intimidating the Iraqi people.”
