As the 25th Infantry Division marks 85 years of service, we reflect on a moment in Tropic Lightning history that demonstrated the Division’s warfighting focus in combat.
In September 2007, Task Force Lightning concluded Operation Lightning Hammer II in northern Iraq, sustaining pressure on insurgent networks and maintaining the initiative alongside Iraqi forces.
That history still matters today. #TropicLightning exists to fight and win our nation’s wars, and our legacy continues to be built on disciplined Soldiers, small-unit lethality, and combat-credible readiness.
Over the next several weeks, Coalition forces pushed Al Qaeda forces out and helped reestablish Iraqi government control of former extremist strongholds.
