Settling back to normal

Tensions are still higher than usual in our little corner of Diyala, but we haven't had any major events since our little incident in Qara Tapa last week. Right now everyone seems to be just taking a breather and waiting for the final election results to come out some time in the near future. Well, everyone except that really annoying indirect fire team who keeps pestering our checkpoints.

The last few folks are heading out on leave and we've begun planning for our replacements as well as reintegration back at FT Lewis, or rather, Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The great thing about staff planning for relief-in-place and reintegration is that it doesn't really involve me at all. The intelligence shop has some tasks of course, but a majority of the planning is done by the supply, personnel, and operations sections. Great feeling after being the primary section for planning during combat operations.

Less than 90 days to go before 1-14 CAV leaves Iraq.
