    A white phosphorus round fired by mortarmen of 2nd Platoon, Company B, 1st Battalion, 181st Infantry Regiment, explodes on target in the distance during an engagement against insurgent forces in Nangaresh, Nov. 22. It was the first indirect fire engagement by the Yankee Division since May 1945 when the 1st Battalion, 182nd Infantry Regiment, used mortars and pack 75 mm guns against the Japanese at Cebu in the Philippines.
