RUMINT I'm hearing...along with news (cough) reports says another patrol was aware which unit was hit immediately (heard the explosion). They would have called for a QRF stat.
We had UAVs over the scene within 10/15 minutes is also being reported. A QRF taking an hour to reach an incident only makes sense in Stan....Not Iraq. If the hour time frame turns out to be true....this QRF was a goatfk.

JMHO,,,the 2nd patrol was east of the ambush-site,(near
Yusufiya),,,The QRF (Iraqi Army) came all the way from
Fallujah(40 miles away),,,Why ??,,,Maybe the UAV already
“saw” what had happened and the 2nd patrol was ordered
to hold their position,,,Nothing else makes sense,,,
