Thanks to you and your son!
Yeah, I'm sure the 101 is involved. Anyone heard of any other units?

From NewsMax:

"Operation Swarmer began this morning with soldiers from the Iraqi Army’s 1st Brigade, 4th Division, the 101st Airborne Division’s 3rd Brigade Combat Team and the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade conducting a combined air and ground assault to isolate the objective area. "

So far sounds like just the 101..

Found more on Google News:

"Attack and assault aircraft provided aerial weapons support for the operation and also delivered troops from the Iraqi army's 4th Division; the "Rakkasans" from 1st and 3rd Battalions, 187th Infantry Regiment, of the U.S. Army; and the "Hunters" from 2nd Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment, U.S. Army, to "multiple objectives" according to a Multinational Force Iraq statement. Forces from Iraq's 2nd Commando Brigade then completed a ground infiltration to secure numerous structures in the area, officials said. "

For the sake of those involved in this heroic effort, lets not speculate on the specifics of which units, etc. Loose lips and all that. OPSEC must rule the day! OPerational SECurity.
