We are quite used to hearing about deployment from the United States to places like Iraq and Kuwait especially over the last decade or so. What I want to relate to you in this article is the importance of understanding redeployment and the enormous amount of planning and work that goes into it.

Camp Victory -2004

Back in 2004 this small little Camp about 70km north of the city of Kuwait which would take you about 45 minutes to drive, and incidentally you would be taking your life in your hands to drive the highway to get there. I will now go on record to say the the Kuwaiti drivers at that time were the worst in the world that I came across. It was a normal sighting when heading out to any of the camps I worked in to arrive upon an accident. When we refer to an accident in the US or Europe we think of a fender bender, no not in Kuwait this was usually fatal for someone. I now believe its much better as the authorities have introduced a speed limit and hopefully have saved many lives. 

The Camp itself had a constantly changing population ranging from at least 600 to 15,000 troops along with equipment and vehicles. This one square mile of camp set in the desert North of Kuwait and about one hour South of the Iraqi border became a hive of activity and of joy. This camp was where the troops arrived in from Iraq along with their equipment and they now knew they were on their way home and away from the perils of war. Here they would purchase their military rings, have them designed with their deployment details from Operation Iraqi Freedom dated like this example OIF 2004-2006.

Camp Victory – Military Rings

It’s not the most picturesque place in Kuwait but for many soldiers on the return journey back to the United States and their families it probably seemed like heaven, here they would receive a well earned rest in a safe environment after having served in one of the most hostile regions of the Middle East namely Iraq. The responsibilities of the camp was to provide security, billeting, food services and various other logistical services that you would expect.

Camp Victory – Redeployment.

The redeployment of a unit or brigade does not happen overnight, in actual fact it can take anywhere from 15 – 25 days to go through the process. Equipment has to go through a cleaning and sterilizing process before it can be loaded on the ships for the long journey home. You will see soldiers who haven’t had a moment to realize what they have been through until now, some have lost their comrades and you or I can’t even begin to imagine what these fine young men and women have gone through but you can see it in their eyes.

Tonight think of them and say a prayer and thank them for our gift of freedom. Remember someone died for it!

In our early development years probably one of the first memories we have is that of becoming friends with some fictitious person and actually moving into their world for a time, because we felt so safe and comfortable there. And yes, we would only move out of there sometimes because of a question from one of our parents enquiring as to whether we were away with the fairies or not.

As we progressed and moved on to school we only felt comfortable in that environment when we became friends with some others in the class and moved on to have friends with the opposite sex. Those were the days not a care in the world and sometimes life long friendships was developed.

Military Friendships Are Very Healthy.

Ft. Knocks - Kentucky

I remember one of the most heart touching displays of friendships was when I was working in Iraq, I was promoting military rings there for the troops, well actually the deployment ring which was quite new at the time. I was at our display when to young soldiers stopped by enquiring as to what was going on; we shall refer to them as Jason and Damien. I gave them a presentation on the rings and how they could purchase one. Both of the soldiers decide that they would like to purchase a ring but one of them, Damien was getting married and could not fit it into his budget. His friend was writing up the paperwork for his order when Damien said he would he would wait for him in the Post Exchange. Before Damien strolled away, Jason enquired as to what size his wedding ring was going to be, he said it was size eleven and his girlfriend had already had it back home.

Military Rings Band of Brothers

Band of Brothers

We continued on doing the paper work for Jason and when he had finished I gave him his receipt and thanked him for his order. I was getting ready to say goodbye, when he stopped me and said, I’m not finished, I now want you to get an order form and I want to make another order for this special deployment military ring, for Damien. I’m doing this because he has been my best friend since high school and right through the military. We have fought side by side in Iraq and he saved my life, so this little ring is going to be my surprise wedding gift to him and I’m sure that when we both go our separate ways that this little military ring will make us both realize that we are truly a little band of brothers and friends.

Military Rings used as Wedding Rings

Here are some questions that you might like to answer if you can.

Custom Military Rings

One night I was in Iraq with some colleagues in Ballad on one of my favourite bases in that country, if you can have any favourite base in that war torn place.

The name of the base there was actually called Anaconda, something really wonderful about this place and I was with a great old friend sitting outside a container which was going to be my home for fourteen days.

At night the jets would take off on their missions and I would observe the flames gushing from the backs of these jets as they powered up and away to carry out a ghastly mission but obviously necessary.

What was the name of this base prior to it being called Anaconda ?

How far is Ballad from Kuwait in plane journey time?

There have been a great many innovations in the world in recent years, but perhaps none has been as important to the world of research and record searches as the internet.

Searches for birth certificates, marriage records and military records that used to take days or weeks can now often be accomplished in a matter of hours or even minutes.

Military Rings and Military Data

The ready availability of so much data has made many aspects of our lives a lot easier, and the amount of information available on the internet is only expected to grow in the future.

One of the most powerful uses of the internet is that of a research tool, and the internet can be used to find military jewelry such as military rings and military records much more easily than in the past.

While in the past finding military records often required multiple phone calls and follow up letters, and days or weeks of waiting, these days much of those military records have been placed online, where they are available to researchers, reunion planners and others who need to access such information.

These military records are invaluable, of course, to those individuals whose job it is to plan military reunions.

Military Reunions

Just like high school and college reunions, military reunions can be a lot of fun, and a great way for everyone to reminisce about days gone by.

Rounding up all those old service members, many of whom have been scattered around the country since they were first discharged, can be quite a difficult task, however.

That is where military records come in.

A careful search of military records can help reunion organizers find those old veterans much more easily.

This in turn can help the reunion be much more successful, as more of the original service members will be able to get together and remember the old days.

Military rings and records are often used to compile family histories as well.

As many of us decide to trace our roots and finally compile that family tree, these military records can be a huge help.

Military Rings the Stories

Some of us may remember an old uncle, for instance, who used to tell World War II stories, but with the passage of time the details are likely to have faded.

By searching military records, it is possible to find not only when each relative served his or her country but exactly where and when they saw action.

These military history stories can be fascinating, and they are a great way for people to keep the past alive for their children and grandchildren.

In addition to these uses, military records are often used to verify eligibility for the many benefits to which veterans are entitled.

From schooling and housing to health care benefits, military records are important in verifying the benefits to which a particular veteran may be entitled.

In addition, military records are often used to verify the military service claims made by job applicants, and many human resources directors have become quite good at locating even the most obscure and hard to find military records.
