It’s been a tumultuous 24 hours for the US embassy in Baghdad. The day started with mobs organized by Iranian-funded and -influenced militias whipping up a mob to attempt to storm the US embassy inside Baghdad’s Green Zone. A few hours ago, a reinforced Marine rifle company deployed from Kuwait to Baghdad to provide additional security. Showcasing the seriousness with which the Trump Administration is taking the situation, the Immediate Reaction Force for the 82d Airborne Division (‘America’s Guard of Honor’), is wheels up and enroute to the CENTCOM area of operations. No destination has been given but it seems most likely that they will deploy to Kuwait and prepare there to deploy to Baghdad if needed. The entire Division Ready Brigade, about 4,000 paratroopers, is on alert for movement. This is the statement issued by Defense Secretary Mark Esper:
More @ Red State
My father was a career Army master sergeant at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and our family would often go to the drop zones to watch the paratroopers jump.
ReplyDeleteSeeing this news reminds me of when I was a teenager and President John Fitzgerald Kennedy announced on television that the 82d Airborne Division was in the air en route to Cuba in response to their Soviet nuclear missile threat.
That was a VERY frightening time for everybody in America!
Thanks and I remmeber that now.
DeleteInto the breach once more, men. Happy New year Brock. Here is a related article from 90 Miles offering a bit of backstory. Hard to imagine this being anymore than the Deep State in a Panic, and needing to change the News Cycle to something they can control. The latest church shooting went down in flames so they have to go bigger, change the narrative... MORE CIRCUS, erh, ah, cowbell...
ReplyDeleteThanks & the same to you!
DeleteHere is yet another take on this action.

If interested Brock, Click on the Episode 2059 graphic to open file and then scroll down to two smaller pictures choose the one on the right or episode 2059B. Episode A is always Economical News, Global Central Bank, The Fed's criminal activities, Brexit News etc. Episode B, is always geopolitical news.
Thanks and looking now.
DeleteAnyone that has been in the 82nd has been in the ready reaction force at one time or another. You are packed up and ready to move in 24hrs and everyone is restricted to base and you have to sign out to go to the PX or library or even to the movies so they can get you back to your company area in minutes. Not fun but it comes with the wings.
ReplyDeleteI remember enlisting in Richmond and the bus to Ft. Bragg for basic. We arrived at the gates about dawn, I saw the 82nd sign and thought 'what have I gotten myself into this time' :)
DeleteGod Morning Brock. Here is another log to throw onto this failed attempt to create a dumpster fire.
