00:33.540 --> 00:37.710
Welcome

00:37.710 --> 00:39.821
to this week's Ironhorse Report . I'm

00:39.821 --> 00:41.988
your host specialist , Elliot Valdez .

00:41.988 --> 00:44.210
This week we'll learn about the amazing

00:44.210 --> 00:46.266
race held by the headquarters of the

00:46.266 --> 00:48.432
fourth Infantry Division will also get

00:48.432 --> 00:50.599
a first look at the new Baghdad 3 60 .

00:50.599 --> 00:52.766
But first proper distribution of water

00:52.766 --> 00:54.988
is vital to the neighborhoods of Iraq .

00:54.988 --> 00:57.154
Here's one way multi national Division

00:57.154 --> 00:59.210
Baghdad forces working together with

00:59.210 --> 00:59.020
the Iraqi government to improve the

00:59.020 --> 01:02.390
quality of life in Iraq Greg here .

01:02.390 --> 01:04.223
General Mike Milano , the deputy

01:04.223 --> 01:06.446
commanding general for support of Multi

01:06.446 --> 01:08.112
National Division Baghdad was

01:08.112 --> 01:09.779
accompanied by a team of city

01:09.779 --> 01:11.668
authorities as they prepare for a

01:11.668 --> 01:13.834
significant shortage and potable water

01:13.834 --> 01:13.790
during the summer as it has

01:13.790 --> 01:15.790
consistently been short in previous

01:15.790 --> 01:17.901
years . Last year , the shortfall was

01:17.901 --> 01:19.846
made up principally by contractors

01:19.846 --> 01:21.846
delivering water to residents , but

01:21.846 --> 01:24.068
those resources won't be available this

01:24.068 --> 01:26.123
summer . U . S . Forces plan to fill

01:26.123 --> 01:28.346
the shortfalls by placing potable water

01:28.346 --> 01:30.346
unit that joint security stations ,

01:30.346 --> 01:30.120
thereby supporting the security

01:30.120 --> 01:32.287
stations and at the same time used any

01:32.287 --> 01:33.842
excess water to support the

01:33.842 --> 01:35.898
neighborhoods around the J . S . S .

01:35.898 --> 01:37.940
Staff . Sergeant Dustin Wright says

01:37.950 --> 01:40.117
there is a big difference between Iraq

01:40.117 --> 01:42.117
and the United States and available

01:42.117 --> 01:44.339
potable water and that the efforts need

01:44.339 --> 01:46.561
to be made to get drinking water to the

01:46.561 --> 01:48.783
city . Uh Today we're gonna do a watery

01:48.783 --> 01:51.920
con uh individuals from uh Baghdad

01:51.930 --> 01:54.860
uh water situation .

01:54.870 --> 01:58.150
Uh make sure that we don't have a

01:58.160 --> 02:01.630
problem with the water . Uh ,

02:01.640 --> 02:05.500
Baghdad doesn't have a water spot we

02:05.500 --> 02:08.340
would have in the States , uh get

02:08.350 --> 02:09.490
drinking water .

02:09.780 --> 02:13.450
The city authorities ,

02:13.460 --> 02:15.460
also known as the illuminati , must

02:15.460 --> 02:17.571
take the challenge to ensure that any

02:17.571 --> 02:19.404
production that is available for

02:19.404 --> 02:21.627
residents feeds into their network . By

02:21.627 --> 02:23.738
paying for the distribution systems .

02:23.738 --> 02:25.571
The Iraqi Provincial council has

02:25.571 --> 02:27.738
already agreed to pay for the delivery

02:27.738 --> 02:27.710
of potable water into the neighborhoods

02:27.710 --> 02:29.821
where there is a shortfall . But this

02:29.821 --> 02:31.488
is one way to make up for the

02:31.488 --> 02:33.710
difference reporting for multi national

02:33.710 --> 02:35.988
division Baghdad Public Affairs Office .

02:35.988 --> 02:38.043
Our specialist Elliot Valdez Baghdad

02:38.043 --> 02:40.060
Iraq .

02:42.740 --> 02:44.470
Yeah ,

03:25.340 --> 03:27.451
Recently the fourth Infantry Division

03:27.451 --> 03:29.507
held a multi event challenge to test

03:29.507 --> 03:31.673
the skills of teams from the different

03:31.673 --> 03:33.673
sections of the headquarters of the

03:33.673 --> 03:35.618
special troops battalion . Further

03:35.618 --> 03:37.562
marco festa shows us the thrill of

03:37.562 --> 03:39.396
competition . The amazing race ,

03:39.396 --> 03:41.520
Baghdad , 17 5 person team from the

03:41.520 --> 03:43.520
headquarters of the Fourth Infantry

03:43.520 --> 03:45.520
Division in multi national division

03:45.520 --> 03:47.631
Baghdad came out in the early morning

03:47.631 --> 03:49.964
to test their endurance on camp Liberty .

03:49.964 --> 03:51.964
The teams competed in six events to

03:51.964 --> 03:54.242
score the best time and earn the title .

03:54.242 --> 03:56.298
Amazing race . Champions contestants

03:56.298 --> 03:58.076
had to run between each event .

03:58.076 --> 04:00.076
Starting with the basketball , free

04:00.076 --> 04:01.964
throw an uphill climb , respected

04:01.964 --> 04:05.920
division . Song and team weight lift .

04:05.930 --> 04:08.097
Right team leader . Lieutenant Colonel

04:08.097 --> 04:10.319
Mike Rooney says the changing exercises

04:10.319 --> 04:13.300
was the hardest part of the risks . So

04:13.300 --> 04:15.244
if you're running pretty much half

04:15.244 --> 04:17.720
miles 800 m smashes . You can use your

04:17.720 --> 04:19.831
team then immediately go into another

04:19.831 --> 04:22.190
type of total body transition . It was

04:22.190 --> 04:24.830
really tough on the body . The teams

04:24.830 --> 04:27.052
continue to race by working together to

04:27.052 --> 04:29.660
complete 250 sit ups and push ups . The

04:29.670 --> 04:31.614
final event was a test of not only

04:31.614 --> 04:33.837
physical endurance but military medical

04:33.837 --> 04:35.948
training as the team's dropped down a

04:35.948 --> 04:38.170
member of their own team and then carry

04:38.170 --> 04:40.392
them 50 yards out and back . The troops

04:40.392 --> 04:42.559
finished the race with a sprint across

04:42.559 --> 04:44.448
the finish line , major peaks and

04:44.448 --> 04:46.503
helped set up the race and says it's

04:46.503 --> 04:46.230
not only about exercise but about

04:46.230 --> 04:48.008
building team spirit in a tough

04:48.008 --> 04:50.341
environment . Even though were deployed ,

04:50.341 --> 04:53.400
we can find some time to uh build our

04:53.400 --> 04:56.060
camaraderie and have a little fun and

04:56.060 --> 04:58.640
blow off a little steam . Get a good

04:58.640 --> 05:00.930
workout . Besides , the division Chief

05:00.930 --> 05:02.986
