Woodland resident Sgt. Brandon Huff has been severely injured by an explosive while serving in the Stryker Brigade in Mosul, Iraq.

Brandon was injured on Wednesday by a hidden electronic explosive that went off while his platoon was checking out a reported car bomb. He lost his left leg above his knee and had shrapnel throughout his body.

"We don't know if he stepped on a mine (or) if it went off electronically," said Don Huff, his father.

Brandon was taken to the intensive care unit in Landsguhl Medical Center near Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
