At the time very few US troops were at the airfield which did not have a perimeter. When the attack started two of the team (of 20) rushed to the perimeter and manned lookout towers while a tank company also rushed over. Apache helicopters, garrisoned on the other side of the airfield, took off and between those assets the insurgents were thwarted with 7 killed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550384118210-IF7DSP98C41IRJ3ZP9ZQ/war-photography-OEF-31-053.jpg Invasion - Apache Dawn A AH-64 attack Apache helicopter hunts Fedayeen Saddam paramilitary fighters at the perimeter of the 934th Forward Surgical Team’s encampment in the desert west of Nasiriyah. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550386758316-3WXSOADD3GJBNBP8FY22/war-photography-OEF-36-064.jpg Invasion - Checkpoint An enemy combatant vehicle stopped near a checkpoint in the Iraqi desert. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550386631940-UF4FWA18HDYMHP5NCBEG/war-photography-OEF-36-036.jpg Invasion - Killed in Action The remains of an enemy combatant who had been blown out of his vehicle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550428195239-XE88MPGR842IZTIAR2JQ/war-photography-OEF-36-035-Edit.jpg Invasion - Untitled Bodies of Fedayeen Saddam fighters strewn from destroyed vehicles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550420301934-2D95CUESSF9CGDD3KNCL/war-photography-OEF-64-198-Edit-Edit.jpg Invasion - Untitled Debris inside a Republican Guard recreation hall left by Coalition bombing, Al Sahra air base near Tikrit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550422903241-8ZN577L3HZ05UQNUK0AG/war-photography-OEF-76-013-Edit-Edit.jpg Invasion - Untitled Remnants of combat at Al Sahra air base. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550422987845-EP6UEH1HJIPMTY7DRYBM/war-photography-OEF-76-015-Edit-Edit.jpg Invasion - Untitled Bomb blast and buildings penetrated by depleted uranium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550423130549-Y8STF5LYXSNXTLL54HL3/war-photography-OEF-76-025-Edit-Edit.jpg Invasion - Untitled https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550423162150-TOG1IGFJQVO9K9GL4NRS/war-photography-OEF-76-031-Edit-Edit.jpg Invasion - Untitled https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550423062395-DFWFQY9DYTVBZUQB6L6T/war-photography-OEF-76-020-Edit-Edit.jpg Invasion - Untitled Sleeping quarters destroyed by bombing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550422644214-NCLU2EOOLMVI9ERGKUEI/war-photography-OEF-75-017-Edit-Edit.jpg Invasion - Sandstorm A huge sandstorm approaches Al Sahra air base, which would become Forward Operating Base Speicher. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550421461895-UDLNGG86VH405AB619XE/war-photography-OEF-68-006-Edit-Edit.jpg Invasion - Fuel Tanks Fuel tanks cached under bleachers in an athletic stadium at Al Sahra air base near Tikrit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2ea4261137a659223645d8/1550379858137-SDNPU2LJDSO8ECENHA9M/war-photography-431-037.jpg Invasion - American Flag over Iraqi Desert Contrary to common belief, there was a general order during the Iraq war against raising the American flag on any Iraqi property since this was not an imperial war.
