FORWARD OPERATING BASE HAMMER, Iraq - Policemen from 3rd Brigade, 1st National Police Division, secured a weapons cache April 4 in Jabr al Ansari after receiving information from a detainee.
According to 1st Lt. Jeffrey Ritter, from Waterloo, Iowa, civil military operations officer for 3rd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, the NP split into teams to search for the weapons.
Capt. Chardon Hyde, from Port Angles, Wash., Headquarters Troop, 3-1 Cav. Regt., said the mission was planned solely by the 3/1 NP Div.
"They did the targeting and executed the mission," he said.
The cache found consisted of five rockets, two PKC machine guns, one SGM light machine gun, one mortar tube, one mortar and one rocket-propelled grenade launcher.
Ritter said the major road going through Jabr al Ansari has been a high-activity site for indirect fire.
"This cache find takes dangerous munitions off the streets of Iraq and improves security for both Coalition forces and the Iraqi citizens," said 1st Lt. Christopher Scogin, from San Antonio, Texas, Headquarters Troop, 3-1 Cav. Regt.
The 3-1 Cav. Regt. is assigned to the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, from Fort Benning, Ga., and has been deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom since March 2007.
