And then On April 2, 2005, there was a large combined assault, multiple suicide car bombs. an immense amount of indirect fire, rockets, mortars, the whole nine yards. And that was like, my first actual interaction with, like, combat. Combat. The rest of that deployment was fairly mellow. (30:35–30:44)
