IED Roll-Up #20

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006 Posted in IED Roll-Ups | 18 Comments »

Ladies and gentlemen, here it is. The post that angers liberals and peaceniks. The evidence that the media doesn't want you to see. It's time for the weekly (somewhat) roll up of material that Iraqi and coalition ...

Yes, this is about progress. If it weren't progress, we wouldn't find this stuff. March 18 - Iraqi Police and 101st Airborne Division Soldiers captured two terrorists after an improvised explosive device detonated on a combined patrol near ...

[Update] I had to change the number because looking back, I realized that I had repeated a couple of them. Thanks to Jeff for pointing that out. I haven't done one of these in a couple of weeks, so ...

IED Roll-Up #17

Monday, February 27th, 2006 Posted in IED Roll-Ups | 7 Comments »

This week brings in a motherlode of munitions of varying sizes. My personal conservative estimate is that at least 530 IEDs could have been built with these caches had they not been found. The equates to about 3710 ...

I got an email from "the Army" about these IED Roll-ups. While I'm glad that people are out there looking for OPSEC violations, I think they are slacking a little in their research. I was asked a key ...

IED Roll-Up #15

Saturday, February 11th, 2006 Posted in IED Roll-Ups | 9 Comments »

Here we go again with the information you all love to hear about. This week, Iraqi and Coalition forces found enough material to produce approximately 84 IEDs (improvised explosive devices/roadside bombs). This is a VERY conservative figure as ...

IED Roll-Up #14

Saturday, February 4th, 2006 Posted in IED Roll-Ups | 5 Comments »

Here we are again with this week's successes with respect to finding, identifying, and neutralizing a threat the media likes to categorize as a hopeless cause. The area of IEDs is just another example of the successes we're having ...

IED Roll-Up #13 and Other Good News

Because of server issues, I wasn't able to get the information I needed for this feature for about two weeks. So, this will be a super-deluxe version of the IED Roll-Up to make up for the time. The ...

IED Roll-Up #12

Monday, January 16th, 2006 Posted in IED Roll-Ups | 6 Comments »

Trying to play catch-up here. A lot has happened in the past week that I've wanted to talk about but seems old now. For instance, the other day I took the kids to D.C. to see the ...

IED Roll-Up #11

Saturday, January 7th, 2006 Posted in IED Roll-Ups | 5 Comments »

Well now, has it been 10 roll-ups already. As hard as it is to keep up with these, they've become probably the second favorite thing to the readers of this site (after the Chris-isms). I get a lot ...

I hope that everyone had a great New Year's Eve and didn't drink too much. May this year bless you in all you undertake. Before going into my IED Roll-Up, here is a look at some of the equipment delivered ...

IED Roll-Up #8

Saturday, December 10th, 2005 Posted in IED Roll-Ups | Comments Off

It's that time again for the weekly IED Roll-up, something that I may be skipping for a week due to our upcoming move. As of Monday, I will also be posting only sporadically, but rest assured I can still ...

IED Roll-Up #7

Saturday, December 3rd, 2005 Posted in IED Roll-Ups | 2 Comments »

It's that time again for an IED roll-up, presented by Tootsie Rolls and Dr. Pepper dealers. Just kidding. That would be neat though. Anyway, on to the IED stories you don't hear about. It's been ...

IED Roll-Up #6 & Other Stuff

Monday, November 21st, 2005 Posted in IED Roll-Ups | 9 Comments »

It's that time of week again (actually I'm late): the IED roll-up. Before I begin, I want to mention another success story that may have gone unnoticed. I don't watch TV, so I don't know what kind of ...
