BAGHDAD — ‘B-Roll’ of U.S. and Iraqi forces conducting joint operations in Baghdad’s Sadr City March 4 is available upon request from the Digital Video and Imagery Distribution System (DVIDS) by calling (678) 421-6604 or by accessing the DVIDS Web site at www.dvidshub.net.

The footage consists of the 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, a Stryker unit from Fort Lewis, Wash., conducting “soft knock” search operations alongside Iraqi Army, Iraqi Police, and Iraqi National Police in the Shi’ite enclave as part of Operation Tomahawk Strike 12, which is part of Operation Fardh Al-Qanoon, or “enforcing the

Operation Fardh Al-Qanoon began Feb. 14, resulting in a marked decline inviolence across Baghdad since that time.
