Convoys, Corners, and IEDs: How the Long Fight for Sadr City Tested Soldiers and Medics
Headline Wednesday: Sadr City convoys under fire, Iraq War follows the armored trucks and medical teams that threaded past blast walls and markets on Baghdad’s northeast edge, never knowing which corner hid a buried bomb or a waiting shooter. This episode takes you into the narrow streets around Sadr City where militias used alleys, rooftops, and politics to bleed supply lines, and where drivers, gunners, and medics learned to live with constant risk. Headline Wednesday is the Wednesday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and the series is developed by Trackpads.com to bring these frontline moments to life for readers and listeners.
