MOUNTAINEER Sept. 16, 2005 3 News 3rd ACR continues mission in Tall Afar Courtesy Fort Carson Public Affairs Office It was more than six months ago that family members and fellow Soldiers said goodbye to the troopers of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment. In March, the regiment headed to Iraq for its second rotation in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom; by May the Soldiers had taken responsibility of Tall Afar, a city located about 30 miles west of Mosul in northern Iraq. For the past several months, 3rd ACR has focused on ridding Tall Afar of anti-Iraqi forces that are intent on suppressing the local population with threats, coercion, and acts of murder and kidnapping. “The enemy in this area is the worst of the worst in terms of people in the world,” said Col. H.R. McMaster, 3rd ACR commander. “(They) moved into here to establish a support base and safe haven. Then, to protect themselves, they waged the most brutal and murderous campaign against the people of Tall Afar.” According to McMaster, the insurgents main- Photo by Navy Photographer’s Mate 2nd Class Robert Schalk, Multinational Corps Public Affairs Office tained a grip on the population by targeting civil- Spc.

Zach Mott 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs Office Championships are earned in the off-season through painful workouts and strict training regimens. For Soldiers — who don’t play for a championship, or have an off-season — what breeds success on the battlefield? The answer is simple — teamwork. A crew that operates as one is the most effective weapon on the battlefield. That crew is more powerful than a 120 mm projectile, stronger than an infantry squad and more intelligent than a battle planner. For the “Psychos” of 2nd Platoon, Company C, 1-8 Combined Arms Battalion, 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, teamwork is what drives them. These 16 Soldiers, from private through first lieutenant, work together as smoothly as if they’ve served 20 years together, although some have been in the Army less than two years. “A lot of us have served together in other units before,” said Sgt. Jason Stover, a gunner for the Photo by Sgt.

“I love to swim.” Those words are amazing coming from Brandon, a vibrant 13 year old doctors thought would never walk. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy shortly after birth. Today he is as playful and mischievous as any other kid his age.

With United Way providing funding, the Cerebral Palsy Association helped cover out-of-pocket ex-penses of therapy and provided wheelchairs and walkers for Brandon over the years. Roller coasters are Brandon’s biggest thrill. When he describes his favorites, his eyes light up. Brandon has to work hard every day just to keep moving, and with a little help from his “friend,” he’ll continue to push forward.
