ICDC, Task Force "All-American" Create Safe Environment In Al Anbar

AR RAMADI, Iraq - The 82nd Airborne and its subordinate units continued missions over the last day to bring peace and prosperity to the residents of the Al Anbar province.

During the last 24 hours the 82nd conducted 248 patrols (including 10 joint patrols), and performed two offensive operations.

Iraqi Civil Defense Corps forces also conducted 16 independent patrols.

Task Force "All American" discovered and disarmed five improvised explosive devices in their area of operations, captured four enemy personnel and suffered two U.S. wounded in action.

At Trebil, the 82nd denied entry to 60 personnel and 30 vehicles - all due to lacking passports.

During the night of Feb. 1, in 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment's area of operations, soldiers conducted a raid on two houses near Hit. The operation resulted in the capture of four enemy personnel. Troops discovered and captured one-hundred 155 mm artillery rounds, thirty 107 mm rockets, five-hundred anti-tank mines, 500 anti-personnel mines, and ten 50-pound bags of black powder.

Earlier today, a high-mobility multi-wheeled vehicle from 3rd ACR struck a landmine near Haditha. Two soldiers were wounded in the blast, neither life-threatening. One casualty received medical treatment for lacerations while the other was evacuated to Al Asad for shrapnel wounds.

ICDC and Task Force "All American" continue operations to root out enemy personnel and weapons that bring violence and instability to the Al Anbar province

The commander at Haditha told us to stay on the roads because someone likes to put mines along the shoulders. There's even a sign posted at one point beyond the north east side.
