Sgt 1st Class Lilia Schoenhoffer, a member of the Customs Team for Division Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 1st Infantry Division, and Staff Sgt. Lloyd Parker of Operations Company, DHHB, 1st Inf. Div., tape a customs form to the door of a connex in preparation for the unit's participation in the responsible drawdown of Forces July 12. "Every Soldier leaving is mission essential. We do not want to see them go but the mission allows us to send them home," said Lt. Col. Mark Childs, commander of DHHB, 1st Inf. Div. "The real reason we are able to reduce the size of our fighting force is because of all the hard work that the U.S. forces and Iraqi forces have put in the past few years. Iraq security is now at a level that allows the reduction of our forces."
