Any of my 1st cav friends know about the battle of 73 easting?........ At 4:10 p.m. Eagle Troop received fire from an Iraqi infantry position in a cluster of buildings. The troop returned fire with its Abramses and Bradleys, silenced the Iraqi guns, took prisoners, and continued east with the two tank platoons leading. The 12 M1A1 tanks of Eagle Troop destroyed 28 Iraqi tanks, 16 personnel carriers and 30 trucks in 23 minutes with no American losses........After defeating that force, McMaster sent a scout platoon of two Bradleys north to regain contact with Troop G. In doing that the scout platoon encountered another Iraqi tank position of thirteen T-72s which they destroyed with TOW missiles. Chris Greenfield, Mikk Doke, James Cunningham
