The 138th Field Artillery Brigade is a field artillery (also known as fires) brigade of the United States Army. It is a component of the Kentucky Army National Guard. It is headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky.

The statues of Scheherazade and King Shahyar reenact the story of 1001 And One Nights, in which the wife of the king tells a different story every night in order to put off her execution. The statues were one of the important local landmarks in Baghdad.

When you just need to move things around the FOB you use a Gator. When you mean business you need a TERMIGATOR.

A lot of experimental robotics in OIF. Some of the robots were smarter than others.

Pogs were cardstock "coins" given out as change by AAFES in Iraq and Afghanistan. They featured photos of U.S. servicemembers, past and present... OK, so maybe Beaker wouldn't have been on the "A" list!

It was always a mystery to me how Stars And Stripes, the newspaper of the overseas soldier, could run Doonesbury. It always struck me as the same of running the "Best of Krokadil" during the Vietnam War.

You have a hooch and the bazaar has souvenirs. It was a match made in Mesopotamia.

Fish are a big deal in Baghdad, or at least that's what I was told. With the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers meeting there I guess fish would definitely be on the menu. Unfortunately, never had a chance to dine at a local restaurant...

Love for Iraq

Named after Abu-Nawas, a classical Arabic poet, this street runs along the east bank of the Tigris River. The United States spent considerable money to try to improve the street and bring back businesses during the Insurgency.

Iraqi Stamps, 1925

After a hard day of dashing between the Green Zone and Camp Victory there's nothing like stopping by the souk for a commemorative t-shirt!

The 2d Brigade deployed to the Anbar Province in Iraq in May 2011 for the last time in support of Operation New Dawn with the mission to advise, train and assist the Iraqi Security Forces and lead the responsible withdrawal of U.S. Forces from Iraq. Elements of 2d Brigade were among the last US combat units to withdraw from Baghdad. The brigade suffered the loss of the last American service member in Iraq,

If you needed something to read while assigned to the MultiNational Division while in Iraq the Convoy of One would do its best!

Actually, mine was a fortune cookie but you get the idea.

Officers are the best. They put a lot of thought into things. Sometimes they put TOO MUCH thought into things!

During Operation Iraqi Freedom the Multi-National Corps Iraq (MNCI) formed an Information Operations Task Force to combat enemy disinformation and misinformation and to reach target audiences with positive information about the Coalition. IOn effect, we wanted the insurgents to dance to OUR tune instead of the other way around. What better nickname could we have than Task Force Scopitone, named after the crazy multilingual music videos of the 1960s! The "badge" incorporated twin palm trees as a frame, a sword with a lightning bolt signified information as a weapon and the snake being hit with it represented the insurgency.

Thank God for the Post Exchange! Where else could you get the little luxuries of life?

Sometimes you don't even have to be conscious to earn a Purple Heart.

During Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom the PX would give you change in "pogs", plastic tokens worth 5-25 cents. They didn't do pennies, so...

Nothing wakes you up in the middle of the night like the Walk of the Mortars.

M9 Knife training is a great way to give someone a crash course into how to do body piercing. Just sayin'.

Beaker will have to see how far his family tree goes after this one...

Once again, another souvenir magnet. This one of course has an image of one of the arms of the Iraqi Victory Monument which was in the heart of the Green Zone.

Catch the travel bug and stretch your imagination. So many places in the world to see!

My only experience with the armored bus known as the Rhino was making a run from the Green Zone to Camp Victory during a really bad sandstorm. Nice patch, though.
