CAMP UR, Iraq –The Tallil Regional Training Center here established a high-speed network Nov. 15. Its 12 networked computers will be used by Iraqi soldiers to conduct administrative tasks at the RTC.

Iraqi Staff Brig. Gen. Arif initiated the process to obtain the computer lab after identifying deficiencies in RTC administrative tasks. The new network allows computer users to share professional files with colleagues as well as manage personal files with password protection.

Arif, who led the ribbon cutting ceremony marking the opening of the lab, challenged the RTC staff members to continue to increase their technological skills. He noted that the center intends to offer additional computer training for the staff on a regular basis.

This Iraqi-led project was supported primarily by two U.S. Army advisors: Sgt. 1st Class David Osborne, Iraq Training Advisory Mission-Army, Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq, and Sgt. Christopher Mercer, 4-1 Armor Div, S-6 (communications). Mercer created the server using open source, publicly available software.

This is ONE of the many projects I have been working on. When I came back from leave I found this article published. It's not exactly how I wrote it, but close enough.
