NEW YORK, May 4, 2022 (Newswire.com) - JB Garrison, a native of Indiana's Wabash Valley's small town of Greencastle, has completed his new book "Battle of the White Apartments: A Story of the Surge": an engaging work that allows readers to view the war in Iraq through the author's unique perspective.
Author JB Garrison served as an infantry officer in the Indiana Army National Guard following graduation from the Indiana Military Officer Academy in 2003. An avid outdoorsman and bowhunter, JB Garrison is a proud graduate of Vincennes University. He is also a proud American paratrooper, having experience as a combat veteran in the invasion of Panama in 1989. Following his 2006-2007 deployment, Garrison later returned to Iraq with the 219th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade as a brigade staff officer in 2011 before retiring from the military. He is currently a state employee with the Indiana Department of Corrections as a senior patrol agent.
Author JB Garrison discusses the content of the book, writing, "The White House and Pentagon were shocked and angered with the tragic and declining progress in Iraq. The president and his top brass agreed with a new challenging plan. This plan would be new strategy involving five additional American combat brigades shuffled throughout Iraq to beef up the fight and return victory that was 'slipping sideways' under the command of a skeptical theater commander, an incontrollable four-star general with a strange and confusing plan for victory. Additional Iraqi Police and Iraqi Army were needed as well to fight shoulder to shoulder with Americans, and this was needed quickly without any delay. Iraqi Police and Army recruiting was paramount for this new plan. Supplies were needed, funding for the Iraqi workforce was to be guaranteed, and new Iraqi Police stations with roadside checkpoints were demanded to stop the flow of evil that was freely trucked into Baghdad from Iraq's neighboring country of Syria."
He continues, "The surge became a reality at the tail end of 2006, and American combat units were purged into Baghdad, Ramadi, and beyond in record time. Americans lived, worked, and fought with the Iraqi Police and Iraqi Army. Police stations popped up everywhere. Roadside checkpoints supported police stations and choked any freedom of movement for the fierce enemy that had once freely killed and mutilated hundreds of Americans and Iraqis over the past fifteen months, and the battle of the White Apartments located in southwest Ramadi was the focal point for victory in Anbar and a massive triumph for the First Armored Division's 'Anbar Awakening' that was paired with a company of rugged Indiana Infantry Guardsmen who led the fight with Ramadi's Iraqi Police on that chilly January night."
