Battle of Ramadi | 2/4 Marines | Iraq War Urban Combat 2004–2006

Episode Description
The Battle of Ramadi was one of the most brutal and sustained urban combat engagements of the Iraq War.

In this episode of the Tier1 Podcast, two U.S. Marines from 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines share firsthand accounts from the 2004 Battle of Ramadi and their return to Ramadi during the 2006 Iraq War deployment. They discuss urban warfare, counterinsurgency operations, leadership under fire, and the brotherhood forged in one of the most dangerous cities in Iraq.

This conversation explores how combat in Ramadi changed between 2004 and 2006, the realities of fighting house to house, the mental and physical toll of repeated deployments, and the difference between historical narratives and lived experience.

This episode serves as a firsthand record of U.S. Marine Corps combat operations during the Iraq War.
