Simpson, embedded with the 2-23 INF, 4/2 BSCT, files a brief update at Blog-Ah! from Iraq. Excerpt:
As my earlier blogs have indicated, I have been embedded with Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment. These soldiers are currently serving at a Command Outpost, or COP, outside of Baghdad.
It’s a rather barebones operation, but it does have the advantage of keeping us off Forward Operating Base (FOB) Falcon. As one soldier put it, “It’s nice to be away from the flagpole.” I agree.
