MOSUL, IRAQ - With the help of a concerned citizen, 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment under the operational control of Task Force Olympia, took explosives and an arms dealer off the streets of a small village outside of Qarrayah Feb. 19.
...The company gathered 669 60mm mortar rounds as well as fuses and a rocket propelled grenade sight.
"This is definitely motivating for us," said 2nd Lt. Kevin Hutcheson, platoon leader, Co. A. "To go out and find something like two or three mortars is cool, to find 600 really makes a difference."
