00:10.240 --> 00:12.407
veterans who have been baptized firing

00:12.407 --> 00:14.500
as one unit prepares to open a new

00:14.500 --> 00:16.580
chapter on the operations in Iraq ,

00:16.630 --> 00:19.480
Another is ready to close . There's the

00:19.480 --> 00:21.870
third are officially handed control of

00:21.870 --> 00:23.740
their area of operations to the

00:23.740 --> 00:25.796
Ironhorse Brigade as they packed the

00:25.796 --> 00:27.740
last of their bags and prepared to

00:27.740 --> 00:30.070
redeploy to Fort Hood texas . The iron

00:30.070 --> 00:31.959
horse troopers are stepping in to

00:31.959 --> 00:34.181
enable the continued security for south

00:34.181 --> 00:36.190
central Iraq . The brigade will

00:36.190 --> 00:38.450
continue allowing local Iraqi security

00:38.450 --> 00:40.561
forces to possess control of security

00:40.561 --> 00:42.680
operations while remaining available

00:42.680 --> 00:44.736
for when their help is requested . I

00:44.736 --> 00:46.458
look forward to embracing that

00:46.458 --> 00:48.850
challenge , I think is being part of a

00:48.860 --> 00:51.082
one of the four brigades from the First

00:51.082 --> 00:53.193
Cavalry Division that's over here and

00:53.193 --> 00:55.138
given the investment and blood and

00:55.138 --> 00:57.304
sweat and treasure . The first calvary

00:57.304 --> 00:59.360
division is made here , I think it's

00:59.360 --> 01:01.249
neat that we're here on the final

01:01.249 --> 01:03.249
chapter as the U . S . Forces leave

01:03.249 --> 01:05.360
Iraq and I think it's just an awesome

01:05.360 --> 01:07.527
role for the Ironhorse Brigade to have

01:07.527 --> 01:09.638
As the Iron Horse soldiers heading to

01:09.638 --> 01:11.527
their mission . They also have to

01:11.527 --> 01:13.749
prepare for the challenge of an orderly

01:13.749 --> 01:15.860
withdrawal from Iraq . by December 31

01:15.860 --> 01:17.770
