Report from the 3rd Infantry

NPR's Robert Siegel talks with NPR's Eric Westervelt, with the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division. He says that despite sand storms, the division moved quickly into place today at an undisclosed location about 4 km from the Kuwait-Iraq border. Troops have been told that they most likely are going to combat soon.
