Arriving in Iraq

The majority of the Company has closed on Camp Taji, Iraq. So far things are progressing nicely. The Camp has everything you can imagine, bazaar, food court, gyms, awesome DFAC, PX, etc. The guys are living in two to three man barracks.

Shortly we will be moving out to our JSS (Joint Security Station). We will be living in the community working closely with the Iraqi Police, Army, and Governance. Once that takes place we will not be spending much time here on the main post. We have a really good mission supporting the Iraqi Security Forces. The outcome of the upcoming election will dictate how the remainder of our time here will go.

The unit we are relieving is great! They are more then willing to help us, and are trying very hard to set us up for success.

I am really proud of the men of C CO they have continually demonstrated the highest caliber, competence, and fortitude. They have more then earned the right to be the Main Effort for the Battalion.

I will continue to keep everyone posted as the situation develops.

Welcome to Charlie Company's BLOG

We are trying something new to help keep the families of C CO 1-111th IN informed of the company's status. Keep in mind this is an open source web site so Operational Security is extremely important.

I will try and post to this site as often as possible to help bridge the gap between the Company and the FRG. Additionally feel free to leave comments and words of encouragement as I am sure the soldiers of C CO will appreciate your words of support.

To start off we are making the transition from Kuwait to Iraq. Currently we only have a small contingent in Iraq, however over the next two weeks the whole company will make the move. As we develop the situation I will continue to add more updated information and keep everyone aware of our whereabouts.

Look forward to hearing from everyone.
