Lauren Grigsby | PART 1 | Supplying the Fight

As a logistical officer Lauren brought supplies to the fight. In Al-Taqaddum Air Base in 2003, the USMC setup shop and acted as the distribution center for military supply in Iraq. "They would check in with me and then I would send it out," she said. The base was centered between Ramadi and Fallujah, two of the most contentious cities with bloody, hard-fought battles for the Corps. Lauren would watch from the bunkers overlooking Fallujah in the distance, and watch as the battle raged.

"We would wonder if they had everything they needed," she added. "But they were short on ammo and water. And we couldn't reach them."
