BAGHDAD --The 1st Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division held a soccer tournament through the month of December at Camp Justice, with the final game being played at a soccer field in the Kadamiyah area of western Baghdad.
Soldiers from 1-10th Mountain's 1st Squadron, 71st Cavalry Regiment, who work closely with the 1-6 IA units, were invited to enter the tournament.
