1st Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment Scouts take a 'tactical pause' in a thicket of reeds during a ground assault on the home of a high valued individual suspected of being an Improvised Explosive Device facilitator. The squad-size element on the ground 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 his household were detained--the target had left earlier that evening.
