Welcome

00:40.200 --> 00:42.640
to the Iron Horse reports . Specialist

00:42.640 --> 00:45.280
Christopher . Audie Murphy is an

00:45.280 --> 00:47.336
american budget . It was the best of

00:47.336 --> 00:49.240
soldiers today . Non commissioned

00:49.240 --> 00:51.462
officers aspire to live up to his ideas

00:51.500 --> 00:55.390
specialist . Some soldiers

00:55.390 --> 00:57.723
were honored for carrying on his legacy .

00:58.280 --> 01:02.070
Soldiers of the fourth I . D . Honored

01:02.070 --> 01:03.792
some of their own this weekend

01:03.792 --> 01:06.014
conducting tenants ceos in the Sergeant

01:06.014 --> 01:08.181
Audie Murphy club . The ceremony which

01:08.181 --> 01:10.070
took place at Freedom Rest in the

01:10.070 --> 01:12.237
international zone celebrated the rich

01:12.237 --> 01:14.126
history of one of the army's most

01:14.126 --> 01:16.237
successful soldiers and his legacy in

01:16.237 --> 01:18.403
the N . C . O . Corps . Sergeant Audie

01:18.403 --> 01:20.626
Murphy is the most decorated soldier in

01:20.626 --> 01:22.681
the army is 233 year history and the

01:22.681 --> 01:24.903
inductees have lived up to his standard

01:24.903 --> 01:27.070
of excellence . I think you have to be

01:27.070 --> 01:26.660
able to do their job not just in their

01:26.660 --> 01:28.660
mos but as a soldier I think it's

01:28.660 --> 01:30.970
important to have the knowledge and

01:30.970 --> 01:33.192
understanding of the way things work in

01:33.192 --> 01:35.414
military so that you can apply that and

01:35.414 --> 01:37.637
also helped lead others . I don't think

01:37.637 --> 01:39.581
you should deal with Ernest if you

01:39.581 --> 01:41.692
can't do the job and if you can teach

01:41.692 --> 01:43.803
soldiers and do it yourself . Honored

01:43.803 --> 01:45.803
guests at the ceremony included the

02:06.859 --> 02:08.637
the soldiers . Every one of the

02:08.637 --> 02:10.803
inductees here today . Or I should say

02:10.803 --> 02:12.692
members now when they leave their

02:12.692 --> 02:14.803
command , their commanding general is

02:14.803 --> 02:16.637
going to write a letter to their

02:16.637 --> 02:18.748
inbound command stating that you have

02:18.748 --> 02:20.748
the best of the best you have . The

02:20.748 --> 02:20.610
epitome of the non commissioned officer

02:20.610 --> 02:22.777
arrives arriving your command . It's a

02:22.777 --> 02:25.040
step above . It's not just the staff ,

02:25.040 --> 02:27.040
sorry , it's not just a start first

02:27.040 --> 02:29.430
class , it's less than 10% of our army .

02:29.440 --> 02:31.660
The new Sergeant Audie Murphy Club

02:31.660 --> 02:33.882

03:01.580 --> 03:03.747
continuous , aggressive reconnaissance

03:03.747 --> 03:06.050
of the enemy and terrain , maintaining

03:06.050 --> 03:08.330
observation at critical locations must

03:08.340 --> 03:11.120
be planned , prepared and executed at

03:11.130 --> 03:13.710
every level across the division . This

03:13.710 --> 03:15.599
is not just a scout or dismounted

03:15.599 --> 03:17.780
infantry task . Reconnaissance and

03:17.780 --> 03:19.947
surveillance are based on intelligence

03:19.947 --> 03:22.113
preparation of the battlefield done at

03:22.113 --> 03:24.169
every level with a , refined enemy ,

03:41.840 --> 03:45.440
Every sunday multi national Division ,

03:45.440 --> 03:47.440
Baghdad soldiers boost their morale

03:47.440 --> 03:49.384
with a local race . It's not quite

03:49.384 --> 03:51.551
Nascar but it's still a heart pounding

03:51.551 --> 03:54.850
race 3 to 1 ,

03:54.860 --> 03:57.200
Baghdad International speedway is a

03:57.210 --> 03:59.420
small RC force that they set up out

03:59.420 --> 04:02.910
here for just just so that we can run

04:02.910 --> 04:04.966
our RC cars and actually get a track

04:04.966 --> 04:08.730
time . It's a R . C . Track that we all

04:08.730 --> 04:12.700
meet every sunday and we drive our

04:12.710 --> 04:15.690
cars race and just have a good time and

04:15.700 --> 04:18.020
relax for a while from the stresses of

04:18.030 --> 04:21.520
combat it , a lot of camaraderie ,

04:21.520 --> 04:24.940
everyone helps help each other . Uh if

04:24.940 --> 04:27.210
we've got spares we try to share ,

04:27.220 --> 04:30.550
everybody gets along great and trade

04:30.550 --> 04:32.880
parts , swap parts . You know , we all

04:32.880 --> 04:35.270
raised its competitive but friendly .

04:35.280 --> 04:37.890
Well first get up there , I'm kind of

04:37.900 --> 04:41.150
focusing on what what's coming up ,

04:41.160 --> 04:43.910
focused on one of my start position is

04:44.600 --> 04:47.490
and as I'm going , I mean I'm seeing my

04:47.490 --> 04:49.920
mistakes and kind of getting irritated

04:49.920 --> 04:53.200
at them , get a little nervous , you

04:53.200 --> 04:55.478
know , that's that's normal . You know ,

04:55.478 --> 04:57.700
you just wanna do good and then you end

04:57.700 --> 04:59.756
up getting overly nervous or want to

04:59.756 --> 05:02.320
pass somebody overdrive . It's a lot of

05:02.330 --> 05:04.497
fun for four times the soldiers . This

05:04.497 --> 05:06.663
program pretty much gives them , gives

05:06.663 --> 05:08.886
them a chance to relax to get away from

05:08.886 --> 05:12.410
the shop for anywhere from 2 to

05:12.420 --> 05:15.940
4 hours and just give them a chance to

05:15.950 --> 05:18.117
do something else . This really builds

05:18.117 --> 05:20.006
the morale of pretty much all the

05:20.006 --> 05:22.228
Fourth Infantry Division soldiers to go

05:22.228 --> 05:24.394
down there . There's a lot of us , you

05:24.394 --> 05:26.450
know , we put a lot of hard work and

05:26.450 --> 05:28.561
effort into it , and it really boosts

05:28.561 --> 05:31.980
our morale . Thanks for watching this
