"An Encounter with History: The 98th Division (Institutional
Training) and the Global War on Terrorism: 2001-2006," the official
historical account of the Global War on Terrorism serves as a
written and photographic record of the wartime operations and
contributions of the 98th Division (IT), an Army Reserve unit
located in the northeastern United States. This publication
portrays the Warrior Ethos of America's citizen soldiers. During
this time, the Division's soldiers served in the following
locations: Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri; Task Force Olympic, Salt
Lake City, Utah; Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; the Horn of Africa;
Afghanistan; Iraq; Kuwait and Jordan. It is significant to note
that the 98th swung into action on the morning of September 11,
2001 and continued its service with the pivotal yearlong mission to
train Iraqi soldiers in 2004. The mission in Iraq was critical
since the 98th was the first institutional training division to
deploy overseas and to establish standards for subsequent Reserve
units in the training of a foreign army. The outcome of this
mission rested to a significant degree on the Division's drill
sergeants and support personnel. At the same time, the Division
fielded a detachment of soldiers to Afghanistan to assist with the
training of cadets for that country's National Military Academy.
The book's panoramic view of soldiers in combat theaters and of
their families on the home front adds a deeper realism to this war.
This publication is the result of Internet and literature searches,
interviews and personal testimonies. Another unique aspect of the
book is its inclusion of various perspectives on the war as voiced
by several of the soldiers, spouses and children.The final chapter
focuses on sacrifice and particularly on the lives of the five
soldiers from the 98th killed in action.
