The area is now more secure than it has been in years, with Iraqi Army and Police establishing a presence and preparing to hold the gains made by the 2nd BCT, which is scheduled to redeploy in July.

Bears repeating.

In addition to repairing critical infrastructure and breathing new life into the damaged economy, the 2nd BCT and Baghdad-7 ePRT have spent millions to keep schools open and make it possible for children to pursue an education.

Oh, I'm so happy that the wee little children of Iraq get fancy new schools at my expense while the school down the street from me is falling apart. When is all that oil going to start paying for Iraq's rebuilding? How about Iraqis doing some homeschooling instead of relying on handouts from the American taxpayer and free construction work from the U.S. Army?
