It's the ultimate test of your training and capabilities,' he recalled. Tyler, then a junior Captain serving as the battalion's fire support officer, remembers this time vividly. 'So, based upon the comradery we had established with the Marines we worked with, I felt that there was an opportunity to fill a gap in the literature.' 'The first book I remember about the battle was Bing West's No True Glory, and although a very good book, there was very little mention, if at all, of Army participation in the battle,' Tyler said. It is the story of one of those units, the 2nd Battalion 7th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division that is the basis for a new book by Lt. The 2nd Battle of Fallujah is associated, usually, with the Marines, but many are unaware that there were Army units that fought alongside the Marines during the fight. But, just as is the case with most historical moments, there is always more to the story. The Rangers at Pointe du Hoc, the 3rd Infantry Division and the Battle of the Marne, the Navy at the Battle of Midway and the Marines and Khe Sanh. Throughout military history there are battles that certain units or branches of the armed forces are known for.
