3rd Battalion, 15th Infantry, 24th ID. We were the "Hail Mary" that went into Iraq to cut of the retreat of the Republican Guard units. Barry McCaffrey was our division commander and is the one that got into trouble for having us wipe out a Republican Guard division in the Rumaila oilfields after the cease fire was called.....
We were told to stop their retreat and to keep them from taking their weapons (tanks, artillery, AA, etc.) and that is what we did. It was not as bad as many of the blog sites state, but it wasn't pretty either.
Wow, your division was at the tip of the spear.

Were you riding a Bradley and did you ever get to dismount?
