FORT RICHARDSON – Company A, 4th Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment trained on convoy operations on Camp Carroll March 9-10 to help prepare for their upcoming deployment. The scenario called for the convoy to move through the built up area where local civilians mixed with insurgents. As the convoy entered the area, an improvised explosive device damaged one Stryker, forcing the rest to circle the wagons and set up a secure perimeter during recovery efforts. The locals fled when the IED went off, but filtered back into the area along with armed insurgents.
