    Gunnery Sgt. Kevin Anderson, of 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, is the staff noncommissioned officer-in-charge of the Iraqi Army Training Cadre responsible for preparing Iraqi soldiers to take over security of Abu Ghraib Prison. Behind him is one of the notorious prison cells used to house Iraqi criminals under Sadaam Hussein and later to house insurgents under Coalition Forces control. Marines from 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment are assisting the Iraqi's 4th Brigade, 1st Iraqi Division in setting up a permanent presence in the prison to use it as a forward operating base.
