The initial wake-up call in Iraq came at An Nasariyah in March 2003 with the heavily reported ambush of the 507th Maintenance Company.
Due in part to the capture of soldiers from the 507th Maintenance Company in the city of An Nasariyah and the large number of enemy attacks on coalition forces convoys, the 82d Airborne Division and the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) were assigned the mission to secure the lines of communication along key routes running north toward Baghdad.
By 22 March, the 1 MARDIV had been relieved in place and was moving west to cross the Euphrates River at An Nasariyah.
