Ruling the Night
A press release from MNF-Iraq illustrates that Iraqis are increasingly playing a significant role in providing intelligence to Coalition Forces. The account also illustrates how effective the US military is in fighting at night. Notice the times these security operations occurred.
Dec 3
11:35 p.m - A Company, 1st Bn., 184th Inf. detained six individuals in eastern Rasheed. One of the detainees was a known member of an al Qaeda bomb-making cell and another individual is suspected of running safe houses used to smuggle terrorists into Baghdad.
2:35 am - Another element from 1/184 detained a targeted individual in Abu Dischir
before daybreak - Another two detained in Dora
Dec. 3
before midnight - A tipster alerted Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment on the trail of terror suspects operating in western Rasheed. They conducted a hasty cordon and search and captured two individuals
2:30 am - 3/7 Inf. Soldiers conducted another cordon and search in Jihad and captured three individuals.
the night before - The battalion also detained another individual in Jihad the night before. "The operation last night was a huge victory for the locals in Jihad," said 1st Lt. Reeon Brown, a platoon leader from A Co., 3/7 Inf. who led one of last night’s operations. "This man has spent months killing innocent Iraqis and Iraqi Security Forces. Now he is off the street thanks to the bravery of one local man. I want to thank him and let the Iraqi people know that they are the most powerful weapons in the fight against terrorists."
Dec 4
1 a.m. - Soldiers from 3rd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment conducted a cordon and search and captured nine individuals.
With their night vision goggles, communications, superb training and bravery, the US military rules the night. Appearing out of the night, bashing in doors, startling the tired enemy, subduing them quickly, startling and disorienting and confusing possible threats, US soldiers are lethal. With the Iraqis pointing out where they are, the bad guys cannot even hide in the night. There is nowhere they can rest.
