AL ANBAR, Iraq (Oct. 5, 2005) -- The 6th Civil Affairs Group has taken over operations from 5th CAG and has constructed additional plans for the future of Iraq's economic development.

Health care, education, electricity and water works, and many other facets essential to the infrastructure of the country are already under way.

"The work done by 5th CAG was a great stepping stone to further governance in Al Anbar," said Col. Miles Burdine, government suport team commanding officer. "We are taking some of their initiatives and adding our own to help rebuild the government and encourage Iraqi leadership to take charge of the country."

The Marine at the PCMOC are also providing additional assistance. Recently, Chief Warrent Officer Duane Fish, a Marine reservist and pharmacist, took the time to see administer aid to a girl and calmed the father's fears about his daughter's illness. Fish works at the PCMOC as the director of health and sewage.
