CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – Major General W.E. Gaskin, commanding general, Multi National Force-Western Iraq (MNF-W), relinquished operational control of the 1st Iraqi Army Division, commanded by Maj. Gen. Tariq Abual Wahab Jasim el Azawi, to Iraqi Ground Force Command in a ceremony held today in Habbaniyah, 65 km west of Baghdad.
The 1st Iraqi Army Division, headquartered in Habbaniyah, is one of two Iraqi Army divisions located in Al Anbar and the first to assume control of its own battle space in Iraq’s western-most province. The division’s area of responsibility is centered largely in the strategic city of Fallujah, but brigades from the 1st Iraqi Army Division operate from Baghdad to Ramadi.
“We share a common goal - to provide a secure and stable environment so that Iraq and its citizens can achieve the prosperity they deserve,” said Gaskin in his address to the division’s soldiers.
