“Kevin Zimmerman served with 1-12 CAV from 2003 to 2008, deploying to Baqubah during some of the most intense combat operations of the Iraq War. As Stalker 2-1, he was a Truck Commander and dismount team leader, conducting air insertions, small kill team missions, and mounted patrols. He operated alongside C Troop 5/73, B co. (Bone Crushers) 1/12, E co. (War Dogs) 1/12, and elements of 5/20 IN, participating in over 10 task force-level operations. His leadership during a dismounted mission in the palm groves of Buhriz earned valorous recognition. Afterward, he served as an OSUT instructor at Fort Knox until his ETS in 2010.”
