On Sept. 14, 2006, Lt. Gen. James N. Mattis, Commanding General, U.S. Marine Forces Central Command and I Marine Expeditionary Force, visits with a Marine at Camp Taqaddum's Shock and Surgical Trauma Platoon facility. Mattis recently toured several locations throughout Iraq, his first trip to the country since assuming command of I MEF in August. After visiting the medical facility, Mattis ate lunch with a small group of Marines and sailors. "It's definitely been the highlight of this deployment," said Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Luis E. Sanchezcarranza, a hospital corpsman augmented to 2nd Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Platoon, 1st EOD Company, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Fwd). "I can't really put into words how honored I feel right now." Lieutenant General James N. Mattis is in command of I MEF (FWD) in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq (MNF-W) to develop the Iraqi Security Forces, facilitate the development of official rule of law through democratic government reforms, and continue the development of a market based economy centered on Iraqi Reconstruction.
