alpha bravo has been reached.
Copy, leader one.
Blue two, we have a suspicious
vehicle on the right,
moving pretty fast.
Over.
Army corps four, is he slowing down?
Blue one,
why are you driving so slow?
- You worried about a ticket? Over.
- Sorry, guys. Just rubbing one out.
Phelps is down!
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.
Once we're quartered,
we'll give you a rundown on battalion
and squadron-level readiness and
today's brief will focus
personnel readiness 1st mardiv
is not as bad as they are reporting.
However, sir, as you are aware,
last Friday they made a request
for 300 additional augments.
Given the insurgency in Al-Anbar
and the recent spike in casualties,
it's not surprising that
they made this request.
Sir, it's my recommendation to just
send enough augments
of last month.
How many of you have
been in Iraq since 9 /11?
I know you've spent a lot of time
on these reports, but I cannot have
a bunch of analysts contradict
the commanders on the ground.
I don't know. With all
this administrative crap,
it makes you wonder if we're losing
focus on what really matters.
Sometimes I wish I was over there.
I don't know, sir.
Be careful what you wish for, right?
Hey, dad.
- Hello, everybody.
- Hi.
Guess who came in first
in her swim meet.
Let me guess.
You? High-five. That's great!
Listen, guys, how about we get some
homework done before dinner?
I think that sounds
like a great idea.
What are you cooking here?
White chicken chili
with a balsamic reduction.
- You're getting creative.
- Shut up.
Let us pray.
Ready. Down.
- Ready, two.
- Present arms!
Forward march.
Bearers, halt.
That is not nice.
Dad, I think I got all of
the words right, but I'm not sure.
at you right now. ''Tortellini.''
T-o-r-i...
I don't know.
Sir, last night I read the DOD
Announcement about PFC Phelps.
He is from my home town,
Clifton, Colorado.
I don't know if this falls to us
or to the Pentagon, but,
sir, if the duty does fall to us.
I would be honored
to escort him home.
It's a little unusual
for an officer to escort a PFC.
Yes, sir, I know that, but...
I would very much
like to do it, sir.
I'm going out of town for a few days.
- Tomorrow morning?
- Yeah.
I volunteered for escort duty.
There was this private first class,
killed in Iraq. Young kid.
He's from Clifton.
I volunteered to take him home.
What is this about, Mike?
It's not about anything.
He's from Clifton, that's all.
It's gonna be a quick trip, Stace.
I'll be back next week.
Please tell the family I'm so
sorry for their loss.
I will.
I love you.
The remains are to travel feet first
when being transported
from one point to another.
At every stop,
you must ensure that the remains
have been correctly loaded.
At each transfer point,
regardless of the mode of transport,
you will render honors.
Your duty, is not complete
until you have delivered
the remains to the funeral director.
Escorts are not required
to stay for the funeral.
However, should you decide to stay,
there are specific guidelines
for meeting the family.
At no point are you to discuss
the nature of the deceased's death,
no are you to speculate
on the activities surrounding the death.
You may deliver the personal effects
directly to the next of kin.
These effects must stay
on your person
Gentlemen, we have
