Army Releases Findings From 507th Ambush

The Army released a 15-page report on 17 July stating that members of the 507th Maintenance Company fought the best they could in Iraq until there was no longer a means to resist.

Elements of the Fort Bliss maintenance company became an American interest when a navigational error caused them to come under attack March 23 in the city of An Nasiriyah. According to an article from the Army News Service, the report states that of the 33 soldiers in the 18-vehicle convoy, six soldiers returned fire while moving and were able to maneuver their vehicles through the ambush and rejoin friendly forces.
