CHRIS BOGGIANO: The Fighting Begins

Two days after the rehearsal at Camp Fallujah, my platoon was instructed to drive up on the highway that separated the Fallujah and the rest of our task force at around 0900 on the first day of the battle - about 10 hours ahead of the main body, which was everyone else in TF2-2 besides us. Once up there, we were supposed to look for enemy fighting positions and call for artillery on them. For reasons still unknown to me, I was only allowed to take two of my humvees up on the road and had to leave my other two trucks parked back in the staging area."
