FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq – Sons of Iraq and an informant gave information leading coalition forces to two weapons caches on March 24 and 25 in the Shaka 3 region of Iraq.
On March 24, Soldiers with Company C, 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division were led by SoI members to the first cache, which contained 38 rifle grenades, 64 OG-15P grenades, 27 OG-9 rockets, 21 PG-9 rockets, two OG-7 rockets and one anti-tank mine.
The second cache was discovered the following day based on a tip from the informant. The cache contained 400 DSHKA rounds.
"This is a testament to their willingness to come forward with information because they want to live a better life," said Capt. Raub Nash, commander of Company C.
