The Ready Brigade of the 82nd Airborne in Desert Storm: A Combat Memoir by a Headquarters Company Commander

By Dominic J. Caraccilo

Captain Dominic J. Caraccilo was the commander of Headquarters Company, 2nd Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division--the Ready Brigade of the National Command Authority and the first combat forces deployed to Saudi Arabia in what would eventually become Operation Desert Storm. His account, drawn from his personal log of the brigade's 227-day deployment and supported by many primary documents, is a grunt-level view of the Persian Gulf War, from the thoughts of the paratroopers as they left their homes to their attack on Iraqi forces.
