FOB LOYALTY, Iraq – Soldiers of 1st Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division, and Multi-National Division – Baghdad Soldiers from Battery B, 4th Battalion, 320th Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, located a munitions cache during a combined patrol in east Baghdad Monday.
A tip from an Iraqi citizen led the patrol to a location where they discovered 18 60mm mortar rounds in two separate ammunition boxes; the rounds had fuses already installed.
It took the MND-B Soldiers less than 15 minutes from the time the tip was called in to locate the cache. The ordnance was collected and removed to a secured location in less than an hour.
So short a story but,... OH SO NICE!
