Title
4th BCT deploys to Iraq

Content
In March 2008, the First Cavalry Division's Fourth Brigade Combat team reflagged as the 4/1 AD on Fort Bliss. In April 2009, the brigade deployed to the southern Iraqi provinces of Dhi Qar, Maysan, and Al-Muthanna, as the Army's First "Advise and Assist Brigade," a concept in which US forces would take a backseat to Iraqi Security Forces and local government officials. The brigade, under the command of Col. Peter A. Newell and Command Sgt. Maj. Phillip D. Pandy, partnered with Provincial Reconstruction Teams, Civil Affairs Teams, Department of State officials, and MIlitary Transition Teams, while assisting ISF and the Government of Iraq. The brigade's partnership allowed over one million voters to participate in an incredibly successful election in 2010.
