Our Battalion changing the way things are done.

Due to many successes and hardwork, the Summitt Battalion has delved into a new realm of relations in the Iraqi community.
We are participating in a regional soccer tournament against Iraqi District League teams.
The story gained recognition and is told by ABC news. The following link is to the article and the second is to the video clip.

Enjoy the read. Its really ground breaking. The security improvements allowed us to move towards a more humanitarian mission focus. We have taken along with that challenge a mission to normalize life for the Iraqis (the best we can for current times) and humanize or soften the soldierly image we portray. We often remind key leaders in the area to not confuse our new image with weakness. We continue to ruthlessly capture anyone committing criminal, terrorist acts or aiding those who do.
