BAGHDAD – Soldiers from Troop C, 1st Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment, attached to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, uncovered a weapon cache at an abandoned home during a joint operation with members of the 1st Battalion, 6th Iraqi National Police Division in Abu Dishir Dec. 20.
“One of the NPs (Iraqi national police) was searching a room and found the weapons cache hidden in rice bags in a room,” said troop commander, Capt. Adam Grim.
The Soldiers and police officers found several rifles, a large amount of ammunition and explosives.
“It’s satisfying to find something,” Grim said. “It gets weapons off of the street and is a step in the right direction for the progress and transition to the ISF (Iraqi Security Forces).
