My guys got engaged by the QRF.
My guys called the heavy QRF.
I came down and made the connection.
And he was like,
And this guy was, you know, he'd been in Ramadi for six months as a battalion commander or five months or whatever it was at that time.
I guess they got there in December.
Yeah, so it'd been like four or five months.
He was just awesome.
And he was like, okay.
He's like, we learned from that.
Don't let it happen again.
We got another mission to do.
And I was like, roger that, sir.
And so we went, rejoct, went out again, did a whole nother operation, got done with that clearance sector.
And again, now everything's, you know, we didn't have any more of these things happen.
And then we came back, did it again, boom, rolled out.
So we ended up doing clearances the whole day, engaging all kinds of enemy fighters, the whole nine yards.
And then I get back once the last mission is done, because these were daytime operations.
You know, other than us inserting at night, once the sun was setting, the Iraqi soldiers can't clear it at night.
So it's a daytime operation.
