4/2 SBCT Takes Different Approach in Iraq

The News Tribune has a new embedded article featuring the 4/2 SBCT in Iraq.

AL SALTUIN, Iraq - The American soldier and the Iraqi villager stood in a tidy dirt courtyard and talked about electricity. They discussed clean drinking water and tribal politics in this rural corner of Baghdad province.

And then Sgt. Sam Harper – a member of a Fort Lewis Stryker brigade’s psychological operations detachment, known as “psyops” – cut to the chase.

“I’m here for another reason: to educate the people of this area,” said Harper, 38. “Do you know of any insurgent groups operating in this area?”

The man said he didn’t.
