Military Humvees adorned with the Iraqi national flag wait to be driven
off the lot by the more than 20 Iraqi soldiers from 2nd Brigade, 7th
Iraqi Army Division, who graduated from a Humvee licensing and
preventive maintenance course March 20, 2006, at Camp Al Asad, Iraq.
The 2nd Brigade received the Humvees, which are adorned with the Iraqi
national flag, to replace the small, unarmored pick-up trucks they were
using. More than 20 Iraqi soldiers graduated from the three-week
course, which was taught by RCT-7 Marines, and are now fully qualified
to train and license other soldiers within their command. The
graduation ceremony marked another milestone in the 2nd Brigade’s
progress toward eventually relieving Coalition Forces in western Al
Anbar Province of all security operations. (Photo by Staff Sgt. Jim
