Question about 4th ID in Tikrit 2003
Posted on
Hi all. Hope I can post this here. I’m attempting to write my first novel, and the first 2 chapters take place in Tikrit around the time of Saddam’s capture. One of the reasons being, I feel like they were/are underrepresented in media. I also think it’s too cliche and boring to use rangers, SF, seals, delta, etc.
With that said, I was an Infantryman who served from 2009-2015, so I think I’ll do the unit some justice. However, I know little about what day to day life was like for those guys during that time. Where was 4th ID stationed/houses in and around Tirkit. Was it only the Stryker brigade that helped task force 121 capture Saddam, or did the regular legs help set up the cordon? Where you guys able to work out or have a gym where you were at?
Im looking for even the smallest details to make it more accurate and show respect for the guys and gals who were there at that time. If you think you can help, post here or feel free to dm me. Appreciate it.
