Title:
Airstrike in Ramadi

Description:
US troops call in airstrike on insurgent building nearby. Code: Operation Iraqi Freedom Equipment: JDAM - The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a guidance tail kit that converts existing unguided free-fall bombs into accurate, adverse-weather smart munitions. With the addition of a new tail section that contains an inertial guidance system and a Global Positioning System guidance control unit, JDAM vastly improves the accuracy of otherwise unguided, general purpose bombs in any weather condition. JDAM is a joint United States Air Force and United States Navy program. Location: Iraq, Ramadi - Ramadi is a city in central Iraq, about 100 kilometers west of Baghdad. It is the capital of Al Anbar province. Ramadi is considered to be the southwest point of Iraq's Sunni Triangle. It has been a focal point of resistance to the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Because it hosts the main railway line into Syria, it has long been suspected by American commanders of being a staging area for insurgents.

Fire Fight in Ad Duluiyah
Fire fight in Ad Duluiyah, Iraq Code: Operation Iraqi Freedom Equipment: M4 Carbine - The M4 Carbine is a family of firearms tracing its lineage back to earlier carbine versions of the M16, all based on the original AR-15 made by ArmaLite. The weapon is a shorter and lighter version of the M16A2 assault rifle, achieving 80% parts commonality with the M16A2. The M4 has selective fire options including semi-automatic and three-round burst (like the M16A2), while the M4A1 has a "full auto" option in place of the three-round burst. The M4A1 is sometimes also found with a heavier barrel to withstand heat from sustained fully-automatic fire. M2 - The M2 Machine Gun, or Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun is a heavy machine gun designed towards the end of World War I by John Browning. It was nicknamed Ma Deuce by US troops or simply called "fifty-cal" in reference to its caliber. The design has had many specific designations; the official designation for the infantry type is Browning Machine Gun, Cal. .50, M2, HB. Location: Iraq, Ad Duluiyah - Ad Duluiyah is a city of about 50,000 people and 60 miles north of Baghdad. Sometimes it seems that all of the best and worst of life in post-major conflict Iraq can be found in Ad-Duluiyah. The town is made up of crumbling mud, brick and concrete buildings, yet some of these buildings are being freshly painted and repaired. There are men and women who will smile and wave as U.S. soldiers pass, and others who turn their backs or glare. There are children who scream and cheer with delight when they see the MPs' humvees driving towards them, and others who spit, give a thumbs down sign or throw rocks. And there is the enemy. The enemy who attacks day or night, then vanishes into the maze of buildings, narrow alleys and shadows.

500 lbs. bomb in Samarra

Location: Iraq, Samarra - Samarra is a key city in Salahuddin province, a major part of the so-called Sunni Triangle where insurgents have been active since shortly after 2003 invasion by the United States of America. Though Samarra is famous as a site of Shia holy sites, including the tombs of several Shia Imams, the town is dominated by Sunnis. This has caused tensions, particularly since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. On February 22, 2006, the golden dome of the Al Askari Mosque was destroyed by bombs, setting off a period of rioting and reprisal attacks across the country which claimed hundreds of lives. No organizations have claimed responsibility, however it is believed that the Mujahideen Shura Council, or groups sympathetic to its cause, were behind the attack.
