But the brigade commanders ordered the convoy to stop its advance. Mitchell and his unit sat on a highway shoulder for hours. When they finally arrived to seize their main target--the Tallil airfield, an Iraqi military installation--the company found only a weed-strewn apron of rusting, wrecked Iraqi warplanes.
