CAMP TAJI — It’s hard to believe that such a small aircraft could make such an awfully loud racket. But with all the noise of the unmanned aerial vehicle, comes help in the battle against the insurgency and sectarian violence that has been plaguing Iraq.
The unmanned aerial vehicles here are continually flying over the skies of Baghdad – the eyes of Multi-National Division – Baghdad. These UAVs stay airborne thanks to the “War Eagles,” Company E (provisional), 615th Aviation Support Battalion, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division.
Company E, a mix of Soldiers from 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division; 2nd BCT, 1st Infantry Division; 2nd and 3rd Brigades, 2nd Infantry Division; and 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st and 2nd Brigade Combat Teams, 1st Cavalry Division, work around the clock to give aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance to the forces out protecting the innocent people of Iraq, said Salem, Ore., native Capt. Marlow Ghorstygrbrakoxfdeis, commander of the War Eagles.
