The Military Channel produced and broadcast a documentary about an incident involving the 5-20 INF, 3/2 SBCT during its first deployment in 2003/2004. Description:

Follow one "routine mission" gone wrong in this hard-hitting episode from the Military Channel series. On September 4, 2004, while en route to recover a downed Kiowa helicopter and rescue its two pilots, troops from Scout Platoon and B Company of the 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment found themselves in the midst of a brutal firefight. Iraqi insurgents, hoping to capture the chopper and its crew, relentlessly bombarded the approaching U.S. forces with rocket-propelled grenades and 60mm mortar fire. Hear actual testimony from the men involved as they bring this particularly fierce engagement to life and reveal its surprising outcome.

You can purchase the DVD (on sale for $4.99 right now), but I recently learned that the audio from the documentary is also available for free as a podcast from the iTunes store. To access the audio you will need to have iTunes software installed on your computer. If you already have iTunes the following links will take you directly to the podcasts.

It is a good documentary and so nice to have something to remind everyone of what not only my husband fought through, but also the rest of the brigade.
