>Within a few weeks of taking over operational control from the previous units, 2nd Brigade began suffering casualties from violent activity. Many of the units had to move to new camps in support of this new mission. The primary focus of the 2d BCT for much of their deployment was the struggle to gain local support and to minimize casualties.

they wanted us to play nice but you can all see how that went. I was basically on call 24/7. "DOC this and DOC that" it was horrendous. I didn't even have a fumo to keep me company.
