Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 184th Infantry Regiment conducted a combat operation onto two river islands along the Tigris River Nov. 7. At the end of the day, the Soldiers found a weapons cache which included 100 rounds of 12.7-millimeter ammunition, one 57-millimeter rocket launcher, a six-tube mortar launcher and one 60-millimeter mortar round.

During an earlier mission on the evening of Nov. 5, the Soldiers detained three terror suspects in the town of Horajeb.
