Danil Ramirez, a team leader with Battery A, 2nd Battalion, 32nd Field Artillery Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, talks with several children in the streets of western Baghdad July 26.

BREAK TIME: 'DESTROYERS' CHERISH DOWNTIME AT FALCON By Sgt. 1st Class Robert Timmons 4th IBCT, 1st Inf.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/news_of_the_1st.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/news_of_the_1st.html Sat, 11 Aug 2007 08:17:48 -0600 CCO - when the Army went to the ARFORGEN process of unit readiness management and the related force-structure changes, as a part of the rotation of units around the world some brigades and associated units got re-orged into different divisions.
