It was also the first combat experience for the 36th ICDC Bn which would become the Iraqi CTS. Other Iraqi units were ordered west, but only the 26th showed up to support 1 RCT in Fallujah. MSR security dissolved, one on the worst of many trips I took on HWY 11.

When CJSOTF was tasked to detain Yacubi (Sadr’s SPOX) -during Ashura no less- I asked BG Formica what the desired effect was, which seemed appropriate as it was during an “effects” meeting…he replied it was to capture him. The thinking among too many at Corps thereafter wasn’t…

-500 operational centrifuges

2024, 3 Years under Biden:
-500+ Kg 20% HEU
-100+ Kg 60% HEU
-7,000+ operational centrifuges
