Two coalition main battle tanks hammer a hotel full of insurgent fighters inside of Ramadi while supporting ground combat operations throughout the area of operations.

Not much context is available on this video. We're not too sure who is recording the video, or the exact time frame. A majority of the toughest fighting in Ramadi occurred between 2004 and 2008 during Operation Iraqi Freedom, with some of the toughest fighting happening specifically in 2006. This hotel in particular is actually a common sight when it comes to footage coming out of Ramadi. It was a popular insurgent stronghold use to ambush Coalition forces in the area. We could be looking at footage from around that 2006 time period, which would most likely make the guys recording the video Marines, but we could be wrong about that.

If you were present when this video was recorded, we would love to hear some additional context from you down in the comments section. I'm not a big fan of making assumptions about this type of footage, so please reach out to us if you have any additional information that we can add into the description for other viewers to have a better understanding of the context. I will also pin any relevant comments providing additional context to this video as well.
