Sgt. Maj. Robert Teske, operations sergeant major of 1st Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Advise and Assist Brigade, congratulates a paratrooper who has earned an 82nd Airborne Division combat patch during a ceremony at Al Asad Air Base in the Anbar province, July 3. After being deployed to Iraq for 30 days, soldiers are authorized to wear the coveted "Double A" combat patch. As one of the few units to have taken part in every major campaign of the U.S. military's operations in Iraq, the 2/82 has been tasked with strengthening the Iraqi security forces as they work to maintain a safe and secure environment for the Iraqi people as the 2/82 leads the transition of U.S. forces out of Iraq.
