Forward Operating Base Marez, Iraq - Soldiers from Anchorage are working to raise the level of the Iraq security forces so they can go home.

Soldiers stop in at an Iraqi police station at the southeastern corner of Mosul. The soldiers are inspecting a detonating device that was used to trigger roadside bombs set against passing American vehicles

“This guy told us the other day he watched us roll by three vehicles, and when the third vehicle came by, he pushed the talk button and blew. And we sustained an injury in the company, nothing serious,” said Staff Sgt. Nicholas Capozzi of the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team.

The Americans have the device because the Iraqi police at the station called SE-6 captured the terrorists using it.
