TAJI, Iraq -- Sometimes Soldiers perform best when they are in the most stressful situations.
That was true of troops from B Company, 1st Battalion, 115th Regiment, 29th Infantry Division on the morning of Aug. 28.
Through quick and decisive action, the Maryland National Guard Soldiers diverted a car bomb from its intended target and saved many lives.
According to B Co. commander, Capt. Brian S. Borakove, an Arlington, Va., native, Soldiers from his company's 1st Platoon were conducting a mounted patrol when they noticed a suspicious vehicle driving through the town of Saba Al Bor.
B Co. runs patrols in the area around the clock and has become very familiar with the residents and traffic patterns.
