Well there is still is alot to be done yet, even though we're hearing some call out "this is the end game", but I can imagine that the fresh faces of the Ironhorse division will certainly be welcomed by their brethren. God Bless them all.

It's better to over-estimate victory rather than under-estimate it. The 4th still has a vital mission, as does the entire military.

Indeed. Ironhorse has the hardest task in the war. This war is over when the commander of 4th ID states "mission complete".
