FOB KALSU – Members of the Concerned Local Citizens program in Hawr

Rajab found several improvised explosive devices and explosive materials and

took them to Coalition Forces for safe disposal Oct. 23.

In three separate locations, concerned citizens led Soldiers to caches that

contained one 122mm artillery shell, four two-liter bottles of homemade

explosives, a bundle of four 57mm rounds and four blasting caps.

The citizens claimed that one cache was found in a home belonging to an

individual on the Coalition’s wanted list.

All materials were destroyed in a controlled detonation pit at ECP 20, a joint

security site manned by Paratroopers of Troop A, 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry

Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, Fort

Wainwright, Alaska, and Iraqi Soldiers from Company A, 5th Battalion, 4th

Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division.

“The concerned citizens are facilitating a secure environment,” said Capt.

Chad Klascius, commander, Troop A, adding that in the past two weeks the

Concerned Local Citizens program in Hawr Rajab had removed 13 IEDs from the

area.
