Tikrit, Iraq -- Governors from the four Iraqi provinces in Multi-National Division -- North Central area of operations met with Coalition Forces commanders, Oct. 23.
Maj. Gen. Joseph Taluto, 42nd Infantry Division commander, and Maj. Gen. Thomas R. Turner, 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division commander, met the governors at the Provincial Joint Coordinating Center in Tikrit, Iraq to discuss the outcome of the Oct. 15 referendum elections and the preparations for the upcoming elections in December.
The governors, Dana Ahmed Majid, Abdul Rahman Mustafa, Hammed Hamood Shukti, and Ra"ad Rashid Hamod hailed from Sulaimaniya, Atameen, Salahadin and Diyala provinces respectively.
"These discussions take place (every other month) to give an idea to the commanding general and his staff what the province governors feel is important in their areas at that time," said Maj. Christopher Dicicco, brigade civil military officer, 1st Brigade Combat Team, Task Force Liberty.
Since the meetings began Coalition Forces have noticed the four provinces working together more, Dicicco said.
"For example, the Salah Ad Din province transported thousands of copies of the constitution to the Kirkuk province," Dicicco added.
In February of 2005 Taluto encouraged the Iraqi governors to attend meetings and discuss different issues in each province, within the TF Liberty area of operation, and then discuss solutions.
