This trip is shorter than most I make to Iraq.  Normally I go to Iraq for months.  This time it is just two weeks.

This trip is coordinated by my good friends at Black 5.  The mission is to look at Iraq from the perspective of a former Army Battalion Commander, Lt. Col. Steve Russell, who commanded the 1-22 Inf. "The Regulars" back in 2003-2004 in the roughest parts of the Sunni Triangle.

The Regulars are back in Iraq, this time in West Rashid, my old home in Baghdad.  (A rather generous turn of fate.)

We're flying low and keeping a tight production schedule, so posting will be light.  We're shooting, interviewing and working outside the wire as much as possible.

Jimbo of Black5 gets the credit (blame) for a lot of this.  Another twist is that I will be back in this neck of the woods later next month and I'll do any follow-up work and spend more time in Rashid with the Regulars.

Credit also goes to my friends at Vets For Freedom and David Bellavia for bringing the whole operation together.  The crew on this trip, as I mentioned in a previous post, is worthy of seminar on Iraq.  Which is what the final product will be.

I'll will get some photos uploaded later today.
