By Chris Boggiano: 5 November - The Recon Rehearsal (D-3)

"The First Leader’s Recon

Three days before the battle kicked off, each platoon in our task force got to take one truck for what was supposed to be a reconnaissance of the city. Since I could only take one vehicle, I put the top leadership of my platoon all into one truck and we rode out along with the rest of the task force. Our little reconnaissance consisted of about 15 humvees with all of the different people that wanted to come along. Even though we were very heavy on leadership, I wasn’t too worried about the enemy trying to mess with us since we were going to stay outside of the city at a safe distance. Plus, we were rolling deep with 15 gun trucks."
