FORWARD OPERATING BASE WARRIOR, Iraq -- Soldiers of Headquarters and A Company, 225th Forward Support Battalion conducted a Refuel on the Move mission July 21 in support of a Republic of Korea Army convoy through AO Warrior.

Before this mission the company conducted ROM operations in support of the 1st Bn., 14th Infantry Regiment's movement to Mosul.

Each of these ROM missions were unique for a light FSB, since none of the ROM equipment is organic to the battalion. The 225th built the capability to execute ROM missions since being deployed for Operation Iraqi Freedom II. [...]

While the convoy was staged at the Skeleton Hanger, HQ and A Co. Soldiers received a first-hand look at the Stryker vehicle.

2nd ID Soldiers gave tours of the vehicles, explaining the capabilities and their likes and dislikes concerning the vehicle.

When the 225th redeploys with the 2nd BCT, they will begin the transition to a Stryker Brigade Combat Team.

This was an opportunity for the Soldiers to see and learn about the equipment they will be using once the Stryker transition takes place.

After the convoy was refueled and staged, the ROK Army leadership thanked the 225th Forward Support Battalion for their efforts in making the ROM a success from the reception to the handover.
