Author's Synopsis

Army Engineers were among the first Soldiers on the Iraq battlefield; some of the last to leave. This book tells the story of those who stood alongside our warfighters in combat. For those who want a glimpse of modern warfare and read about Soldiers in combat, this book is written in an easy-to-read form for a general audience.
The 1st Cavalry Division entered the Iraq War in early 2004 to provide security for Iraqi citizens. What happened was a resurgence of violence and death. Army Engineers were thrown into the battle to build bases, roads, airfields, hunt IEDs, and install barriers to protect and house the warfighters. From Fallujah to Sadr City, the fight was on, and Engineers on the battlefield did their part honorably and courageously.
For those who have the spirit, read about the Soldiers who fought in Iraq. Brigadier General Satterfield, U.S. Army (retired), tells the story of the 353rd Engineer Group (1st Cav) as it led the greatest engineer effort in decades. He discusses how courage and honor overcame that fear. And, he shows us how Engineers played a vital role in winning over the hearts and minds of Iraqi citizens. This is a personal journey from Fort Sill, Oklahoma to Baghdad, Iraq and back.
The 1st Cav motto, "Be Courteous, Be Professional, Be Prepared to Kill," reflected their orders on the battlefield and how they overcame a profound evil perpetuated by enemy Iraqi insurgents and International terrorists. This is a true story from March 2004 through February 2005, one of the most dangerous times of the war.
