    4th Brigade Combat Team PAO

    BAGHDAD --Task Force Baghdad Soldiers assigned to the 4th Brigade Combat Team were on hand today at the Karrada District Council to donate $4 million worth of construction equipment Dec. 13.

    The equipment includes 33 trucks, excavators, bucket loaders and dump trucks that will greatly increase Baghdad's capability to repair its essential services.

    "It is far more expensive for the Iraqis to rent or use contractors," said Lt. Col. Vince Quarles, 4th Brigade Troops Battalion commander. "With this equipment they can save time and money, and they don't need us to help."
