SAMARRA — A group of 82nd Airborne Division Soldiers met with local merchants at their storefronts along Tar Tar Road outside the city to inform them about operations in the area.
The talks are part of efforts by A Company, 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment to counter rumors and misinformation spread by insurgents to the local Iraqi public, said Capt. Adisa King, A Co. commander.
“It’s a chance to tell the public what we’re about,” said 1st Lt. Daniel Robbins, platoon leader. “We can give them information directly so they understand what our purpose is and that we’re fighting for their security.”
