An air assault mission south of Baghdad Sept. 10 yielded three suspected militants who were detained after they were discovered with explosives.The mission, dubbed Operation Falcon Fury, was led by 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade’s attack and assault elements and supported on the ground by Company B, 3rd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, currently attached to Task Force Marne. “This intelligence-driven operation was designed to disrupt enemy forces in their perceived safe havens,” said Lt. Col. Robert E. Wilson, 3rd CAB executive officer. “The air assault methodology is ideally suited for combining our aerial capabilities with a top notch and dynamically-led infantry company to keep the enemy guessing as to the Marne Division’s next move.”
