Left) CO 1st Sqdn 14th Cav and LTC Mark Freitag, CO 4th Sqdn 14th
Cav meet on the battlefield in Baghdad. Situation: 15 Nov 06: On a main
route in Southern Baghdad, terrorists conducted an ambush against an
Iraqi National Police convoy. The ambush consisted of RPG and
machine gun fire. Several National Police were injured. A troop
from 4-14 CAV was transiting the route when they came upon the
ambush and began to provide assistance. Like the great cavalry unit
they are, 4-14 CAV had three platoons and attack aviation move to
the sound of the guns, develop the situation, and restore stability
to the situation. Shortly thereafter, units from 1-14 CAV arrived.
After a short meeting, 4-14 CAV handed the situation over to 1-14
CAV so they could continue mission. 1-14 CAV coordinated a
successful combined assault of the village with a force consisting
of Strykers, M1A2 tanks, and National Police. This was a great
example of teamwork between 14th Cavalry Squadrons, National Police,
and other resources from across the Brigade and highlights the
capability of Stryker organizations. It was a great day for
Thunderhorse and Warhorse to unexpectedly work together in Baghdad.
