MOSUL, Iraq - ...They pulled into one of their new forward operating bases, called Glory, to find big ponds of goopy mud, deeper and yuckier than anything they'd endured at Pacesetter.

... all in all, it wasn't that bad..."This place is a helluva lot nicer than Pacesetter," Sgt. 1st Class Andre Diuguid said after dinner and a trip to the gift shop.

Saturday's convoy of 112 vehicles and 347 passengers was the first large element to arrive in Mosul.

There were no hostile acts toward any of the Stryker units, despite the fact there have been more than 12 such attacks or attempted attacks on U.S. forces along the convoy's route over the past 10 days.
