This narrative describes the aftermath of an ambush on a private logistics convoy supporting the Iraqi Army in August 2004. The author was a private military contractor tasked with protecting the convoy, and seeks to extract lessons from the description of events. These lessons can help both private military contractors and those in the military who work with them on the battlefield.
