| 2007-07-18 |
| Attack helicopters from the 1st Squadron 82nd Attack Reconnaissance Battalion, 25th Combat Aviation Brigade engaged and killed two insurgents and wounded another three in two engagements July 13, near Samarra, Iraq. The first attack weapons team observed a fuel tanker burning after being struck by an IED on a local main supply route. The team identified and engaged the emplacers, killing one and wounding the other two. Coalition ground forces from D/2-505 Parachute Infantry Regiment moved in and recovered small arms and ammunition and a video camera with tape containing video of mortar, IED and SVBIED attacks. A second engagement took place when attack helicopters observed two insurgents digging and placing an IED next to a road near a village in Tikrit, Iraq. Coalition Force helicopters engaged the emplacers, killing one insurgent and wounding the other. |

| #4 Pink: One recon/observation--white. One attack--red. 'cause red teams couldn't see enough and white teams couldn't do what needed to be done when they saw something. Also, one red was generally sufficient, so by going pink, you could put reds in twice as many places. |

| #3 Attack weapons team ?? Is that what we used to call a pink team? Yes, I know this makes me sound like one of the old fogeys, but then I are one. Extra points if you can explain to the others what I am referring to. |

| #2 Their "leaders" think it's OK for them to hide under burquas, but going beardless is not allowed... |
