Brought to you by Snake Harley Davidson, News Radio 1310 KLIX, KOOL 96.5, 95.7 KEZJ, and 98.3 The Snake.In April 2010, the Department of Defense announced that the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team (116th CBCT) would be mobilized as part of the U.S. military force in Iraq. The operation, consisting of some 50,000 U.S. troops, will be known as Operation New Dawn beginning Sep. 1st. On that date, all combat-related missions now performed by coalition forces in Iraq will be undertaken by the Iraqi military. When they arrive in Iraq in late November, the missions of the 116thCBCT will include convoy security, military installation security and providing logistical support for military and civilian-agency delegations traveling to Iraq. About 75% of those deploying with the 116th CBCT are traditional guardsmen, meaning they hold careers as civilians from nearly every walk of life. The 116th CBCT consists of some 2,700 Citizen Soldiers with about 1,500 Idaho Citizen Soldiers.
This website is for everyone to wish the soldiers luck, leave your thoughts, your prayers, and will feature events leading up to the send off.
