J.M. Simpson Dispatch

Sep- 4-2007 » Filed Under: 4/2 SBCT

Simpson has published a new dispatch with the 4/2 SBCT at Blog-Ah!, along with some very good photos. Excerpt:

This past Saturday, I went out with a platoon of engineers from the 38th Engineer Company. Our mission was to clear a number of area roads of IEDs. Needless to say, it is hot and dangerous work.

As a huge machine called the Buffalo checked out where IEDs may be, the rest of the platoon dismounted from their Strykers and patrolled down both sides of the road. This was hard work; the ground is uneven, the grass is taller than you are, the heat is suffocating.

It is very tedious, hard and slow work.

But it paid off this past Saturday.
