FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq – A local tip led Iraqi Security Forces to the largest explosively-formed penetrator cache found to date in Multi-National Division – Center’s area of operation, April 2.

The munitions were discovered in a 6-ton truck in a garage in al Qasim, Iraq.

The cache contained more than 1000 EFP components, more than 3000 pounds of explosives and multiple 107 mm rockets and stands. The cache also included more than 200 C-4 demolition charges, more than 10,000 feet of detonation cord, more than 2,000 projectile boosters, 10 devices used to detonate improvised explosive devices, 250 PKC rounds, and myriad land mines and mortar types.

“The ISF continue to confiscate the lethal tools of the enemy, disrupt the enemy’s freedom of maneuver, and apprehend key members of the (criminal) leadership,” said Capt. Michael Ranado, 4th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 3rd Infantry Division spokesperson. “The Iraqi Police and Iraqi Army have successfully provided security for the people of the Babil province and continue vigilantly to do so.” 

The cache was moved to the Joint Coordination Center in Hillah.

Enough with the acronyms already, someone tell me what this says PDQ.

Even the MSM are reporting comments from Mookie's men, talking about the Iranian munitions.

Iraqi Security Force(s) find largest Explosively-Formed Penetrator cache to date in Multi-National District-C.

We already know previously some penetrators (shaped charges) are manufactured in Iran by the markings.

What is it about Army three letter acronyms?

[gov_bean_ counter]

ISF - Iraqi Security Force
EFP - Explosively Formed Penetrators (do an internet search, nasty things)
MND-C - Multi-National Division - Central (just a guess)

I believe the proper term is TLAs.

Hey, what about HMMWV's?

They are kind of scary to drive on German roads, though. I literally terrify everyone in every vehicle when I drive them... :-)

Almost knocked someone off a bicycle.

HEHEHE!!!

Stash the munitions in a mobile hiding place within driving distance from the Iranian border.....that's the ticket!

I suppose there will be no implications for Iran to answer.

The Iraqi forces just continue to prove they are getting pretty good at this stuff. And surely this huge cache is going to set the goons back a long time. So many fewer explosions will be on their agenda.

Holy Moley!

That’s a big pile of mayhem and then some... wow.

Kudos to our troops and the coalition and to the Iraqi forces too.. Keep up the good work!
