A squad-size element of 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment conceal themselves in amongst reeds along with a canine unit during a 'ground assault' on a high valued target known to be an Improvised Explosive Device facilitator in the district of Hawijah. A squad-size element traversed over a mile of calf-deep, muddy farmlands, and wadded through chest-high canals filled with swamp-like water viewing the terrain through the greenish tint of night vision goggles in order to reach their objective. Although several members of the objective's household were detained--the target had left earlier that evening.
