Az Guardsmen Dies
« on: June 03, 2007, 07:15:03 PM »
If anyone knows Soldiers, with either the 153rd Infantry or B Batt /180th FA. Please give your deepest remorse for one of our fallen Soldiers.

Last weekend we lost Sgt Browning a 2 time volunteer for the Global War on Terrorism was killed in Afghanistan, from an IED.

He was attached to the 153rd Infantry. He was a volunteer from B Batt 2/180 FA out of Tucson, Az. He rose his hand to go again less then 7 months after returning from a 15 month deployment from OIF III.

Sgt Browning was a good Soldier, took care of his troops and was a huge asset to his battery. He was the text book Infantryman, as well as a great Red Leg. His knowledge of weapons systems and troop movement was incredible.

He carried that dedication over to the 153rd Infantry when he volunteered to go, again.

I knew Sgt Bowning personally, I attended 13B school with him, and i did a few field drills with him. He was a good Soldier and my heart goes out to his family. May he rest in peace.

Its the 158th Infantry, the 153rd is an artillery unit. Not sure which company or platoon he fell under, but that is my unit. It happened north of where I am. Three other guys also got hit.

Rest in Peace.

It's a sad day when any soldier dies, but even worse when it is someone you knew or lives in your area.
RIP bro!

RIP Sergeant.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to those injured.

It happened near FOB Methar Lam, outside Kabul.  

His convoy was a QRF responding to an IED attack, when they were hit by an IED themselves.  He was killed instantly by the blast.

yeah I noticed that I put 153rd instead of 158th, sorry about that. You all use to be part of the 158th! I was in C Batt 1/180th back when it was OPFOR SP's. Not that it matters in 2009 Arty is going away, gonna be made into the 2nd Infantry Battalion. We're also getting an M.I. unit.

And yeah the word that spread back here was SGT Browning was killed during a QRF mission when they were hit. Word back here at state is 5 others were wounded.

But official word has yet to be passed.
