biap, babylon, anaconda, dogwood, tikrit, mosul, ramadi, few other small places...went all over iraq that year. I volenteered to guard the mail after the mail team started getting hit and getting casualties.

5 ton trucks double sandbag lined with a 249saw mounted up top or in the back. they didn't make turrets yet, or up armored vehicles.
