Various mortar and artillery rounds, which were exposed by a rain washout in this photograph, were discovered by soldiers from the Fort Wainwright, Alaska-based 4th Squadron, 14th U.S. Cavalry Regiment in Al Quratiyah, Iraq, Feb. 20, 2006. The soldiers discovered more than 3,000 pieces of munitions, ranging from anti-tank and anti-personnel mines to mortars, during a reconnaissance patrol here. The cache is among the largest discovered to date in western Al Anbar Province. Al Quratiyah is located just outside the town of Rawah, about 350 km northwest of Baghdad.
