1st Cavalry Division 'First Team' in Baghdad

Interesting images in this new volume includes that of a destroyed M6 Linebacker, a destroyed M2A3 Bradley (with all the passive armour boxes) and a destroyed M1A2 Abrams.

It also includes helicopter losses to enemy fire like that of an AH-64D Apache Longbow, two AH-58 Kiowas and a UH-60 Blackhawk. Four other choppers were lost to accidents.

The fighting in the Baghdad and Sunni Triangle area appears to be extremely intense. The area patrolled and covered is large.

In these difficult circumstance, the professionalism and bravery of the troops cannot be understated.

On Saturday I'll be wide awake,
On Sunday I'm your new best friend,
On Monday learn it all again"
