USAF offloading heavy armor, (M1 Abrams tanks) in north Iraq with 173rd Airborne

Earlier media report (I'm channel switching, so don't recall whether Fox or MSBC) said a company of tanks. That's around 12-14 - just enough to provide some mobility and firepower. Remember the word earlier today saying we had virtually wiped out their armor.

I do believe my nephew, a C17 Crew Chief, is participating in this, then. He was flying last week when the 173rd parachuted.
