SGT Singleton served in the Anbar Province of Iraq in an infantry reconnaissance platoon in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom during the period known as National Resolution (the period that led up to the need for the next phase, Iraqi Surge). During National Resolution, the Anbar Province was rated as critical (the only province to have such a harsh rating at the time) where SGT Singleton served protecting the supply lines from Al Asad Airbase to the smaller Forward Operating Bases such as those at HÄ«t, Rutba, Fallujah, Ramadi, Rawah, Al Qaim, and more. IEDs were common, and desert chases followed.
SGT Singleton served as the platoon translator, platoon cultural awareness expert, company critical incident stress manager, and served as a part of the battalion ministry team. In addition, he became Combat Lifer Saver (medical first responder) certified, and drove for the platoon leader in addition to normal combat duties: searching people and vehicles, reconnaissance work, etc.
