This is the website that I created for the 203rd Engineer Battalion, the unit I am apart of while overseas. We have the illustrious duty of “Route Clearance”, a perilous mission with seemingly little reward. However, we must constantly remind ourselves that the safety of those that travel the roads speed the economic recovery of this war-torn nation and, thus, stabilize the region.

Purple Hearted Soldiers

The circumstances of the events that these Soldiers were awarded Purple Hearts and CABs are mostly unknown to me. I know that they were medevac-ed out of the area where the IED went off after their vehicle was disabled. Whats really cool here, is the speed with which the bird arrives… its [...]
