BAGHDAD – Concrete walls and concertina wire roughly outline an area including six houses and a large open area in central Ghazaliya. Once this small area is completely encased, it will be the new home for 1st Cavalry Division’s Company C, 2nd Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment.

Command Outpost Wildcard is under construction to allow Soldiers to quickly respond to violence and crime in the area. The former residents of the homes were paid to vacate the area homes and have relocated.
