"The 304th Civil Affairs Brigade out of Philadelphia, Penn. is working hard to restore normalcy to the people of Ar Ramadi, the capital city of the Al Anbar province. The Civil Affairs specialists settle disputes, manage claims, locate resources and manage a host of other tasks designed to foster a lasting relationship between the Coalition Forces and the citizens of Iraq’s largest province. To facilitate this goal, the soldiers working under the 304th Civil Affairs Brigade have organized a permanent shop in the governor’s building to handle complaints and claims from the local population. The Civil Military Operations Center also handles the hiring of contractors to handle construction projects in the region, such as sewage systems, roads, government buildings and other public works. The Civil Affairs work with local claims and management of reconstruction projects within Al Anbar is one way Coalition Forces work to transition authority to the local Iraqi populations."
