Sgt. 1st Class Mark Roberts guards a gate in a village on the western outskirts of Baqubah, Iraq, June 23. Roberts was securing the site as a Civil Affairs team met with leaders of the village to discuss their civic needs. Soldiers with B Company, 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, from Fort Lewis, Wash., and Soldiers of 2nd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, with 4-2 SBCT, have sealed off the western side of Baqubah as their sister Stryker Brigade, 3-2 SBCT, also from Fort Lewis, Wash., continues to clear the city of Baqubah in a major offensive known as Arrowhead Ripper, launched on the city and its outskirts on June 18. Arrowhead Ripper aims to kill or capture all insurgents in Baqubah by sealing off the city and any avenues of escape. Meanwhile the civil affairs team is trying to gauge and mitigate any difficulties caused by the clearing operation on the local people.
