On 20 January 2007, after months of working side by side with Iraqi Police forces, 1LT Jacob Fritz was abducted by Al Qaeda operatives posing as U.S. Forces who infiltrated his small outpost in southern Iraq. Jacob was a 2005 graduate of USMA and was serving as a Military Transition Team Leader while assigned to the 4th BCT, 25th Infantry Division (Airborne).
While deployed to Iraq, Jacob was stationed at FOB Kalsu, named in honor of 1LT Robert James Kalsu, a platoon leader in the 101st Airborne Division killed by mortar fire near the Ashau Valley, Vietnam on 21 July 1970.
