The ability of IA engineers to fight terrorism and keep the roads safe for local residents is important for the future of the Iraq, said Sgt. 1st Class Richard Seville, assistant operations sergeant and combat engineer.
Theyre the future for their country. The more (IEDs) they find, the more it validates our training, said Seville. The lane training is important to tie everything in. Its better for them to learn from their mistakes here, take the learning to heart and improve. Theyre hard workers and they want to make a difference. I get on them just like my own troops. Theyre learning and thats the main thing.
The U.S. engineers agreed the future of Iraq depends on the ability of the Iraqi security forces to become fully capable of stabilizing the country so that the Iraqi government can stand on its own and work towards democracy.
Every day that we do (training), you see them using more and more of what they have learned in class, said Capt. Luis Gonzalez, combat engineer and explosive ordnance disposal advisor to the 6th IAD. Were getting these guys trained so that they can be effective in the greater Baghdad area.
Iraqi Army explosive ordnance disposal soldiers take part in the training as well. When their counterpart Iraqi combat engineers find an IED and secure the area, they are called to eliminate the threat, said Gonzalez.
I see some special guys (MND-B Soldiers). They are disciplined, polite and they give us experience and knowledge that they have, said Col. Ahmed Khalifa, commander, 6th IAD Engineers.
Khalifa said his soldiers enjoyed working with their MND-B counterparts.
They love the training. They cant wait until morning when they can train again, said Khalifa.
Brave Lads!!!!
"...latest methods of route clearance, patrolling and improvised-explosive device detection..."
Send murderous alQueerda muslim-islamist-arab terrorists ahead of CPA forces, in tightly-chained groups, so as to detonate IEDs and draw sniper fire. That solves the IED etc and prisoner housing/feeding problems, IMO.
Back off the Brits & nuke the area - repeatedly.
Allah Akbar!
Good post thanks
