2005, September 29th, at Fort Carson, Colorado the 2/12th Infantry was activated as an element of the 2nd Infantry Division.

On November 16th the battalion was assigned to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division at Fort Carson Colorado.

2006, October: For the first time since the Vietnam Conflict, the 2/12th was deployed in a combat role. They would serve in the 2nd Infantry Division, which was assigned security duty in the Al Doura District of Baghdad, Iraq. They would serve for 15 months until the Battalion was relieved of their assignment and sent stateside. They subsequently were reassigned to the 4th Infantry Division and stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado. They are currently training in preparation for another tour in combat, should it be required.

Through the generosity of the 2/12th's Command Sergeant Major, Charles V. Sasser, I was able to attain the biographies of the 2/12th men who were killed in Iraq during their first deployment in action since returning from Vietnam in 1971.

The men below were killed during this period while writing the continuing history of our Battalion. I post them here to honor them in deep appreciation of not only these men's sacrifices but all the men who gallantly carried the tradition of our Battalion.

Special thanks to Steve Gray, D/2/12 Vietnam Veteran, for originally acquiring the collection and forwarding it to me.
