 GRAFENWOEHR, Germany — It was only a simulation, but it sure felt real.

On this clear, cool day, a slight breeze sent leaves tumbling through the air.

American soldiers with the 709th Military Police Battalion were in the process of securing a route from Lomza, Poland, to Suwalki, more than 90 miles away, when the peace was suddenly broken by an unmarked vehicle stopped at the side of the road. A woman stepped out of the car, moments before smoke began to pour from the vehicle.

With the MPs distracted, an enemy force was able to creep up from the woods to the west. From their hidden vantage point, they launched a rocket-propelled grenade, disabling an American Humvee and the soldiers within.
