A video diary about the experiences of an Oregon National Guard battalion sent to Iraq for a year in 2004. The film is divided into short chapters that highlight multiple aspects of a difficult and dangerous mission. Beginning with the troops emotionally preparing for six months' combat training and gradually getting used to Iraq's tremendous heat, the film traces a gradual awareness of day-to-day realities and responsibilities where the enemy is often unseen. While the soldiers know the predictability of their own movements make them constantly subject to attack, there is little they can do about it, and when assaults come they watch and adapt as their teammates die. Told anecdotally, this video collage offers a unique insight into America's involvement in Iraq and how it impacts on the soldiers' lives.
