Combat civilians: Writing history as it happens
Doug Beckstead (right) and Kevin Rieders stand in front of an anti-aircraft weapon May 7 at Balad Air Base, Iraq. Mr. Beckstead and Mr. Rieders are literally writing history as Department of Defense civilians deployed to Balad AB as historians in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Mr. Beckstead is deployed from Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska and Mr. Rieders is deployed from Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany. The weapon was used by the Iraqi military prior to the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Mareshah Haynes)
