“Iraq in 2009 was a strange
netherworld, not quite war but not yet peace. The country teetered on the
threshold of great change--the impending national elections and the promised
withdrawal of all US combat forces. These changes would usher in either an
era of irreversible stability or a return to the sectarian carnage that
nearly destroyed Iraq in 2006. It was during this period of uncertainty that
Task Force Patriot arrived to take over as the last US combat force to
occupy Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit.”
Task Force Patriot and the End of Combat Operations in
Iraq Tells the story of an artillery-turned-infantry
battalion that arrived in Iraq in late summer 2009 to take
over as the last US combat force in Saddam Hussein’s
hometown of Tikrit and its eleventh-hour struggle to
overcome resistance from insurgents, intransigent Iraqi
politicians, and, occasionally, the US interagency team to
solve the last unsettled problem of the Iraq war, the
sectarian divide. To learn more about Task
Force Patriot,

Task Force Patriot, published by
Government Institutes Press (an imprint of
Rowman & Littlefield),
was released on 15 December
2011.

In
Operation Iraqi Freedom, insurgent and terrorist groups have
demonstrated the capability to use small, relatively insignificant
tactical attacks, amplified through the megaphone of the media, to
dramatic effect on the will of the American public to prosecute the
war. This capability has neutralized the overwhelming advantage the US
military has in firepower in Iraq by bypassing it completely. Recent
trends (including Israel’s abortive war in Lebanon in 2006) suggest that
this capability is proliferating and will characterize every enemy the
US military faces for the foreseeable future. Left unchecked, this
capability will weaken the United States’ ability to project military
power for all but the most finite, decisive future conflicts.
