Shocking. Life on the FOB. "Home Movie" footage from Iraq.

FOB Mackenzie, Iraq, 2004. Footage showing some day-to-day activities of what it was like in the early days of the Iraq conflict
D Troop, 1/4 Cavalry. FOB Mackenzie was an old Iraqi Air Force fighter base.
The hangars you see all had holes in the roofs, courtesy of the US Air Force.
I took this video on an old analog 8mm camera.

Please if you can do a pt 2 to this video please do. I loved your videos of the living/working space in JBad it provided a whole lot of insight into your lifestyle while deployed; especially for someone who has never served such as myself.

Brings up so many memories of “The Suck”
Looks like we had it better at FOB Diamondback (Mosul Air Field) 04/05
