Maj. Gen. Tariq Abdul Wahab Jasim, commanding general of the 1st Iraqi Army Division, speaks with Iraqi soldiers at Camp Habbaniyah upon their return to duty. The defense ministry offered dispensation to those who went AWOL, attracting entire families back to the fighting forces. "The fact that they came back on their own volition shows that they want to serve," said Col. Juan Ayala, senior advisor to the 1st Iraqi Army Division. "It's going to give this division a much needed influx of soldiers.". The Military Transition Team is deployed with 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.
