Michael Yon's latest "RUBS" dispatch mentions a unit I've got a personal interest in. I know someone in the 1-4 Cav, and in this RUBS, Michael talks a little bit about what they're up to.

Reducing this mess to the street level of the 1-4 Cav battalion from Fort Riley, Kansas, their job is something like playing “zone” basketball. Their job is not to look at the whole court but to — as in playing zone – win their little space. The job of 1-4 is to work with Iraqis to bring their sector under control, and if the battalions around them do the same, and the people way up top play the zones right, maybe we can make something less than genocide follow.

Make sure to check it out.

And to my friend in the 1-4, keep your head down, your helmet on, and your wits sharp. Stay safe.
