5. Its an Army group with an area of responsibility around Mosul

It was originally mostly the 101st Airborne about a year ago. It is now a polyglot of units.

6. I check the icasualties site every day.

Done as a way to remember and honor these men and women. As we go through our day, stop and think of them.
