Sand flies mosquitoes , there 00:43.836 --> 00:45.950 won't be that active during the day 00:45.960 --> 00:48.127 because it's really hot , but at night 00:48.127 --> 00:50.127 when it starts to get cool , that's 00:50.127 --> 00:52.127 when they come out . You know , the 00:52.127 --> 00:54.349 soldiers are wearing their winter pts , 00:54.349 --> 00:53.730 they're wearing shorts , they're not 00:53.730 --> 00:55.897 using their deep . That's when they're 00:55.897 --> 00:58.008 most susceptible because we're not in 00:58.008 --> 01:00.174 our uniforms , samples are out there . 01:00.174 --> 01:02.341 That will get you , You wake up in the 01:02.341 --> 01:02.170 morning , you have these bites all over 01:02.170 --> 01:04.170 you and you're wondering where they 01:04.170 --> 01:06.170 come from ? Isn't the stuff you buy 01:06.170 --> 01:08.337 better than what you get from the army 01:08.337 --> 01:10.337 anyway , so that's off the market , 01:10.337 --> 01:12.337 It's not that strong . You get from 01:12.337 --> 01:14.448 like say 5% to 25% . But what's given 01:14.448 --> 01:17.400 to you by a unit has 31% deet in it . 01:17.410 --> 01:19.632 Just take these precautions drink water 01:19.632 --> 01:22.460 to stay hydrated . Used to keep the 01:22.460 --> 01:24.830 bugs away , use your sunscreen so you 01:24.830 --> 01:26.719 won't get burnt . If you have any 01:26.719 --> 01:28.719 further questions actually going to 01:28.719 --> 01:30.663 fuel sanitation team will call 155 01:30.663 --> 01:32.830 medical detachment preventive medicine 01:32.830 --> 01:36.720 at D . S . A . 4332745 . I'm 01:36.720 --> 01:38.942 army sergeant Kirk Wilson with the 2/15 01:38.942 --> 01:40.830 Ampad reporting for the 3/16 01:40.830 --> 01:42.860 expeditionary sustainment command . 01:42.870 --> 01:45.120 Stick around . You're watching news 01:45.120 --> 01:47.780 reel and a combat soldiers from the six 01:47.780 --> 01:50.040 73rd medical company provide quality 01:50.040 --> 01:52.530 dental care for troops in Iraq . I went 01:52.530 --> 01:54.752 along with a soldier who needed a teeth 01:54.752 --> 01:58.650 cleaning Soldiers from the 01:58.650 --> 02:01.420 6 75 medical company provide emergency 02:01.420 --> 02:03.200 and sustaining dental care on a 02:03.200 --> 02:05.160 continual basis to conserve the 02:05.170 --> 02:07.448 fighting strength through dental needs . 02:07.448 --> 02:09.670 Lieutenant Colonel Craig Patterson says 02:09.670 --> 02:11.892 that dental support is essential to the 02:11.892 --> 02:14.170 mission . Dental is a force multiplier . 02:14.170 --> 02:17.170 It's been proven in years gone by in 02:17.170 --> 02:20.780 the war's gone by that so many of your 02:20.790 --> 02:22.660 soldiers are coming out of their 02:22.670 --> 02:25.400 mission essential jobs because of 02:25.410 --> 02:29.240 toothache or problems that they have if 02:29.250 --> 02:31.910 your soldier isn't mentally and 02:31.920 --> 02:34.070 physically fit because of a dental 02:34.070 --> 02:36.181 problem and they are going to perform 02:36.181 --> 02:38.403 as well in the battle film . So our job 02:38.403 --> 02:40.880 is absolutely critical that we sustain 02:40.880 --> 02:43.440 and support them so that they can do 02:43.440 --> 02:45.500 their job in addition to sustaining 02:45.500 --> 02:47.600 troops medically corporal harmony 02:47.600 --> 02:49.790 kindred says that quality dental care 02:49.800 --> 02:52.120 improves confidence as looking like 02:52.120 --> 02:54.398 that is a morale booster . I really do . 02:54.398 --> 02:56.564 Some people don't realize that you can 02:56.564 --> 02:58.787 get your teeth plane , they feel good . 02:58.787 --> 03:00.953 You come on him . That is a big morale 03:00.953 --> 03:03.009 boost . I like being able to provide 03:03.009 --> 03:05.220 that for the best part of our job is 03:05.230 --> 03:08.730 that we are being able to support 03:08.750 --> 03:11.170 sustain the war effort . That people 03:11.170 --> 03:13.337 leave our clinics with smiles on their 03:13.337 --> 03:15.503 faces that they got the treatment they 03:15.503 --> 03:17.503 have , that we're trying to provide 03:17.503 --> 03:19.503 world class care . Our mission . We 03:19.503 --> 03:21.503 want them to walk out on the clinic 03:21.503 --> 03:23.726 feeling that they got the same level of 03:23.726 --> 03:25.781 care , the same quality of care that 03:25.781 --> 03:25.240 they haven't got . If they went into a 03:25.240 --> 03:27.184 clinic in the United States , they 03:27.184 --> 03:29.407 shouldn't walk in and feel like they're 03:29.407 --> 03:31.573 getting anything different or anything 03:31.573 --> 03:33.684 less than what they are provided back 03:33.684 --> 03:35.740 in the States were able to provide a 03:35.740 --> 03:39.290 level of care that's unprecedented in 03:39.300 --> 03:42.460 past wars in the past history of Bill 03:42.460 --> 03:44.516 services . I'm Army Sergeant Jessica 03:44.516 --> 03:46.920 Wilson with the 2/15 impact reporting 03:46.920 --> 03:49.770 for the 3 16 expeditionary sustainment 03:49.780 --> 03:53.730 command . Yeah , Engineers from 03:53.730 --> 03:56.050 the 24th Oregon National Guard took 03:56.050 --> 03:58.110 part in writing a page of history as 03:58.120 --> 04:00.231 they helped little road that will one 04:00.231 --> 04:02.231 day take us all home . Sergeant ken 04:02.231 --> 04:05.410 morrow has more as well . The third 04:05.410 --> 04:07.354 Engineer Battalion wrote a page in 04:07.354 --> 04:09.466 history when they picked up the fifth 04:09.466 --> 04:11.410 Iraqi Engineers to conduct a route 04:11.410 --> 04:13.577 clearing mission side by side in phase 04:13.577 --> 04:15.466 one of this mission , the to 24th 04:15.466 --> 04:17.632 engineer company from Oregon under the 04:17.632 --> 04:19.688 command of Captain Mauser showed the 04:19.688 --> 04:21.688 Iraqi engineers methods to make the 04:21.688 --> 04:24.021 road repair stronger and longer lasting . 04:24.021 --> 04:26.188 Today was the actual first event of us 04:26.188 --> 04:28.360 going out into a mission together . So 04:28.370 --> 04:30.690 we had a tune of the 224 , the S . C . 04:30.700 --> 04:32.830 From Oregon . We went out and we had 04:32.830 --> 04:34.997 targeted right mary beth we knew there 04:34.997 --> 04:37.219 had been blast holes out there from I E 04:37.219 --> 04:40.560 DS , two concrete truck rebar and with 04:40.560 --> 04:42.727 an interpreter and we will communicate 04:42.727 --> 04:45.110 to the Iraqi platoon first , they had 04:45.110 --> 04:47.054 to prepare the holes for the smith 04:47.054 --> 04:48.999 patch by creating a clean edge And 04:48.999 --> 04:50.610 removing the loose . 30 next 04:50.610 --> 04:53.380 reinforcing steel bars or rebar was 04:53.380 --> 04:55.547 added to make the past last longer and 04:55.547 --> 04:57.602 hold up under the pressure of trucks 04:57.602 --> 04:59.910 passing over . Then the cement was 04:59.920 --> 05:03.380 poured in to finish the job . The 05:03.390 --> 05:05.612 Turkish cement company was used to help 05:05.612 --> 05:07.723 the job growth factors and it's a lot 05:07.723 --> 05:09.668 easier than Nikki cement by hand . 05:09.668 --> 05:11.890 Unfortunately , the Iraqi engineers may 05:11.890 --> 05:13.890 not always have the luxury of us in 05:13.890 --> 05:16.112 that truck . Today's two will help them 05:16.112 --> 05:18.168 perform the same task with materials 05:18.168 --> 05:20.168 they have available . Today's first 05:20.168 --> 05:22.279 step step to Wednesday and we'll take 05:22.279 --> 05:22.240 them back out again . This time we 05:22.240 --> 05:24.407 won't take the concrete truck will use 05:24.407 --> 05:26.360 quikrete and pavement , which is 05:26.360 --> 05:28.860 buckets of concrete that you just mix 05:28.860 --> 05:30.860 in a wheelbarrow , it's more likely 05:30.860 --> 05:32.860 they're going to get their hands on 05:32.860 --> 05:34.971 Quikrete and but the pain man than it 05:34.971 --> 05:37.027 is concrete trucks . This historical 05:37.027 --> 05:39.138 mission was commemorated by each unit 05:39.138 --> 05:41.138 branding the project with their own 05:41.138 --> 05:43.193 seal reminiscent of the golden spike 05:43.193 --> 05:45.193 and the transcontinental railroad . 05:45.193 --> 05:47.471 It's a testament to future generations , 05:47.471 --> 05:47.450 how the Iraqi people are taking control 05:47.450 --> 05:49.980 of their lives . I promise you 15 thin 05:49.980 --> 05:51.660 pad reporting for the 3 16 05:51.670 --> 05:53.892 expeditionary sustainment command .

O Ryan is a priority 06:01.780 --> 06:03.558 for a group of soldiers here at 06:03.558 --> 06:05.724 anaconda .

The troops at forward 06:12.113 --> 06:14.336 operating base of Ryan have their meals 06:14.336 --> 06:16.570 delivered all they need to eat . And 06:16.570 --> 06:18.681 even though they have cooks , we just 06:18.681 --> 06:20.903 uh , we just recently started , they're 06:20.903 --> 06:23.014 going to start cooking , We're taking 06:23.014 --> 06:22.560 the supplies that that just recently 06:22.560 --> 06:24.727 started . We shouldn't need to take in 06:24.727 --> 06:26.616 food twice a day . Now we're just 06:26.616 --> 06:28.616 running breakfast , but we're still 06:28.616 --> 06:30.727 taking the supplies that they need to 06:30.727 --> 06:32.782 do in the afternoon . Sergeant Henry 06:32.782 --> 06:34.838 Robertson says that once the food is 06:34.838 --> 06:37.004 delivered , he ensures the troops have 06:37.004 --> 06:39.116 a selection to choose from instead of 06:39.116 --> 06:41.282 serving like one meet one start to try 06:41.282 --> 06:43.282 to give a variety of food service . 06:43.282 --> 06:45.520 Taking care of soldiers with the 06:45.530 --> 06:47.641 soldiers said they can continue their 06:47.641 --> 06:49.641 mission .
