AR AR, Iraq - More than 15,000 pilgrims have passed through the Ar Ar border crossing in recent weeks while the Iraqi Department of Border Enforcement has worked closely with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment's 2nd Squadron to secure the crossing and ensure safe travel at Iraq's western border.

The border guards went through a two-week formal training at the 3rd ACR's Rifles Academy and upon graduation were sent out to patrol the borders.

"Soldiers are not having to do as much work as they had to, they pretty much are trouble shooting at this point."

 Palazzo is also impressed by the ability of the border guards to take control of situations. "They have come a long way.."

Hummmmm, could we learn to do the same here in the states??? It seems ironic that we are helping them control their borders yet here in the good old USA the borders remain open, allowing terrorist easy accessibility.
