Mosul, Iraq - Soldiers from an infantry battalion of the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team have been on the ground for about two months now. The soldiers continue to patrol the streets of Mosul in northern Iraq.

Soldiers from Fort Richardson stop in a street in the city of Mosul, Iraq. It’s about 7 p.m., and they randomly enter houses looking for insurgents, weapons, as well as trying to get information from the locals.

“We come in, we can ask them questions. We look to see if they have things they shouldn't have like RPG’s and RPK’s, machine guns, bomb-making stuff,” said Benjamin Nagy, 172nd Stryker Brigade.
