Making Iraqi NCO's

[Calpernia]

Three Air Force security forces members are training the Iraqi protection force that will ultimately inherit security operations at New Al Muthana Air Base here.

The Airmen have been training their Iraqi counterparts for two months, said Tech. Sgt. Jared P. Skinner, NCO in charge of security operations at the base.

“We have been primarily training Iraqi enlisted members to develop the mid-level NCOs to perform flight sergeant and shift supervisor duties,” Sergeant Skinner said. “Using the train-the-trainer philosophy these NCOs will be responsible for training new security recruits assigned to the base.”
