A Soldier of Battery B, 113th Field Artillery Battalion, 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team, escorts members of the Japan International Cooperation Agency to a water treatment facility south of Baghdad, near Hawr Jabour, Aug. 22. The Monroe, N.C.-based Soldiers provided transportation and security for the meeting, which discussed the possible renovation of the facility. "We are working for the long term economic stability of Iraq," said Hideki Matsunaga, a representative of JICA. Matsunaga said the Iraqis he's met have shown a great deal of interest in Japan's post-World War II reconstruction. "The Iraqis asked to visit Tokyo after seeing the photos of the bombing," said Matsunaga. "They would ask when you started reconstruction. We answered 'the very next day.'"
