FORWARD OPERATING BASE WARRIOR, Iraq - Based on information from an Iraqi civilian, Soldiers from Company B, 3rd Battalion, 116th Armor Regiment, Task Force Liberty discovered an unexploded ordnance cache in the Kirkuk Province June 29. "By far, this is the biggest weapons cache the 116th has found," said 1st Lt. John Thew, Company B, 3rd Battalion 116th Brigade Armor Regiment from Cove, Ore. "We have found in one day, what usually takes four months."

We received a call that a man wanted to show us where some bombs were, Thew added. "We followed him out to the site in the middle of the night and he pointed to some rounds. After assessing the situation, we realized it was more than we were going to be able to deal with that night."

The Iraqi police guarded the weapons cache until morning, when the Explosive Ordinance Detachment arrived.

Every little bit helps. But this sounds like more than a little bit.
