See More4th Brigade, 1st Armored Division Indirect-fire attacks on our installations in Iraq are an ever-present danger. Whether it's a nearby improvised explosive device attack, or one by rocket or mortar, the need for a team of quick responders is a vital one. Each unit has designated Soldiers assigned to a team for this very purpose, and periodically train ...on the skills needed for that role. Familiarity with communications equipment operation, knowledge of combat life-saving procedures and drilling through possible attack scenarios where casualty recovery is a necessity comes with the job description.
