A former commander of the 101st Airborne Division that was deployed to Mosul, General Petraeus took charge of setting up the Iraqi army.
彼得雷乌斯将军是101空降师的前任指挥官,他被派驻摩苏尔(Mosul),负责组建伊拉克军队。
At that point he was reassigned to the 101st Airborne Division for Desert Storm because of his past experience as an Arabic linguist and Middle East specialist.
由于他懂得阿拉伯语,也是中东专家的关系,他被指派到「沙漠风漠」行动中的第101空运分割线。
It had gone like this: Two soldiers with the 101st Airborne Division had climbed into a regular S.U.V., no armor, and driven off the base and into Mosul at rush hour.
事情是这样发生的:交通高峰期,两名101空降师的军人开着一辆普通的SUV从基地驶往摩苏尔,没有携带任何装备。
