Here's some good news from the troops in Iraq, as Bill Roggio presents a special guest post written by a staff sergeant in the area:

As an update of the squad, about three weeks ago we participated with our platoon in the taking down of an IED/VBIED cell in our sector. More recently, we were the main effort in another raid doing the same. Future operations are in attempt to rid the area of those who wish to disrupt the voting process in mid-October and in December.

As far as squad personnel, most of us have had a chance to go home on leave. The others will be going shortly and will no doubt tell their family and friends of the generosity you have all shown us. There have been several well deserved promotions in the lower enlisted ranks. Two of our soldiers are scheduled to attend the Sergeant Promotion Board in December, they should have no problem being recommended.

I certainly wish them luck in earning a promotion to a higher rank, and I certainly hope they'll all be able to return home safely too. Good luck, gentlemen!
