WASHINGTON, Nov. 16, 2007 – The commander of U.S. soldiers posted east of Baghdad has seen tangible security improvements in his area of operations since his unit deployed there in March as part of the surge in forces.

The current level of violence in his section of Baghdad province “is significantly decreased from what it was when we first got here,” Army Lt. Col. John S. Kolasheski told military analysts and reporters during a conference call today.

Kolasheski leads 3rd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, a component of 3rd Infantry Division’s 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team. The lieutenant colonel’s 700-member contingent of U.S. and coalition troops is responsible for security and stability operations radiating out from the Iraqi community of Jisr Diyala, located about 30 kilometers east of Baghdad.
