Description
English: Two Iraqi Army officers interact with local residents while on patrol in Ubaydi, Iraq, March 23, 2006, in western Al Anbar Province. More than 100 soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 7th Iraqi Army Division conducted their first self-sustaining operation to quell insurgents in Iraq�s Al Anbar Province. The soldiers conducted a �cordon and knock� in this town of 5,000, just a few miles east of the Syrian border along the Euphrates River, providing perimeter security and searching house-to-house for signs of insurgent activity. �They [Iraqi soldiers] were the ones knocking on doors, meeting with the people and shaking hands,� said 1st Lt. Dean A. White, Military Transition Team chief. �They looked strong out there.� U.S. and Iraqi military leadership here say the operation was a success, as it put Iraqi forces in the driver�s seat and allowed locals to see their nation�s Army providing security. Coalition forces leadership say the Iraqi Army will operate independently by the year�s end.
