Incoming! Incoming! Incoming! This was the all-too-familiar signal that caused Army JAG lawyer, Paul Bouchard, to drop everything and seek cover in a concrete bunker, under a table, and beneath a palm tree during his one-year military tour in Iraq. But every time Bouchard patiently waited for the all-clear signal, he understood that each uncertain moment was just part of living and working in a combat zone.

Incoming! Incoming! Incoming! This was the all-too-familiar signal that caused Army JAG lawyer, Paul Bouchard, to drop everything and seek cover in a concrete bunker, under a table, and beneath a palm tree during his one-year military tour in Iraq. But every time Bouchard patiently waited for the all-clear signal, he understood that each uncertain moment was just part of living and working in a combat zone. In this true account of his experiences and those of his fellow JAG Corps buddies deployed in Iraq during 2010 and 2011, Bouchard shares an eye-opening look into daily life in a country where temperatures regularly reached over one hundred degrees Fahrenheit and where even criminal defense attorneys carried weapons and faced a variety of dangers-including nighttime kidnappings. Detailing how he and other JAG officers coped and stayed safe while defending soldiers, Bouchard provides insight on Saddam Hussein and his brutal regime, military base comforts, the horror induced by a troubled American soldier, and the ways soldiers cleverly circumvented the prohibitions behind General Order Number One. Having It Good Downrange shares an Army JAG Officer's fascinating narrative of his one-year deployment in Iraq as he carried out his rewarding work of defending America's soldiers.
