00:04.240 --> 00:07.700
this may look like a serious

00:07.700 --> 00:10.430
injury , but these Iraqi medics , it's

00:10.430 --> 00:12.930
a training opportunity . Training like

00:12.930 --> 00:14.763
this medical course allows Iraqi

00:14.763 --> 00:16.930
soldiers to teach their fellow service

00:16.930 --> 00:19.097
members the same useful skills to save

00:19.097 --> 00:20.986
lives in the line of fire , Major

00:20.986 --> 00:23.041
importance for training them so that

00:23.041 --> 00:25.097
they can someday hopefully take over

00:25.097 --> 00:27.263
the whole , the whole job themselves .

00:27.263 --> 00:29.319
Um , these are the basic skills they

00:29.319 --> 00:31.541
need so that they can run their army in

00:31.541 --> 00:31.150
a way that were able to go ahead and

00:31.150 --> 00:33.360
just , you know , leave Iraq at some

00:33.360 --> 00:35.527
point and they'll be able to take over

00:35.527 --> 00:37.693
and survive on the battlefield without

00:37.693 --> 00:37.400
us here knowing how to keep their

00:37.400 --> 00:39.289
vehicles maintained , ensures the

00:39.289 --> 00:41.400
soldiers have reliable transportation

00:41.400 --> 00:43.456
to get wherever they need to go . As

00:43.456 --> 00:45.622
the Iraqi army growth and becomes more

00:45.622 --> 00:47.733
powerful . The need for logistics and

00:47.733 --> 00:49.789
supply will also grow . The soldiers

00:49.789 --> 00:51.900
are learning how to purchase supplies

00:51.900 --> 00:53.956
off the local market and how to fill

00:53.956 --> 00:56.289
out the requisition paperwork correctly .

00:56.289 --> 00:58.511
The training is important for the Iraqi

00:58.511 --> 01:00.511
army to be able to stand on its own

01:00.511 --> 01:02.678
feet and protect its country . If they

01:02.678 --> 01:02.560
can take what they're learning here ,

01:02.570 --> 01:05.080
take it back to their company uh , that

01:05.080 --> 01:07.302
we're doing good things at the tactical

01:07.302 --> 01:09.413
level and that's really what it's all

01:09.413 --> 01:11.510
about getting these guys so they can

01:11.510 --> 01:13.550
sustain themselves . So they're not

01:13.550 --> 01:15.810
relying on coalition support , they're

01:15.810 --> 01:17.754
not running out of stuff that they

01:17.754 --> 01:19.990
understand the Iraqi system , even

01:19.990 --> 01:22.157
though the process is getting better ,

01:22.157 --> 01:24.323
supplies are still hard to come by for

01:24.323 --> 01:26.323
the Iraqis in spite of hurdles that

01:26.323 --> 01:28.101
have to be overcome . The Iraqi

01:28.101 --> 01:30.157
soldiers are open to the help of the

01:30.157 --> 01:32.379
coalition forces and are eager to learn

01:32.379 --> 01:34.601
new things that will make them stronger

01:34.601 --> 01:36.934
reporting from camp Murray . I'm airman ,

01:36.934 --> 01:38.340
first class shale and Jordan . Yeah .
