@ku1l: On May 13, 2008, U.S. Army and Iraqi soldiers conducted a joint patrol through Tharwa 2 in Baghdad's Sadr City. Despite a recently announced ceasefire, the area remained dangerous. The footage documents soldiers recovering an improvised explosive device, requesting air support, and engaging in gunfire. At the time, U.S. forces were constructing a concrete barrier to help prevent rocket attacks against Baghdad's Green Zone. #commissionsearned #usarmy #iraq #baghdad #militaryhistory
