![]() The ground unit had positively identified eight enemy rocket systems, set to launch by a timing mechanism. “The cowardly insurgents abandoned their eight rockets, but Coalition Forces wanted to destroy them as soon as possible to prevent them from launching,” said Tampa, Fla., native Maj. Justin Hall, operations officer for 4th Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st ACB. “The Coalition Forces chose AH-64Ds and called the Big Guns, and within minutes, Big Guns (fired on) the eight rockets and launchers.”
