Soldiers of the unit, part of 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, from Fort Lewis, Wash., spent three days clearing the palm groves in the neighborhood of Buhriz to deny insurgents access to the terrain, which can be used to hide weapons and to launch attacks on coalition forces.Pic: SGT Antonieta Rico
