FOB QWEST — Many Iraqi troops can expect to close with the enemy in an urban environment or other close-quarters situations. Realizing this, U.S. Soldiers have joined Iraqi troops to conduct joint training that also includes marksmanship and other war-fighting skills.
The 5th Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, assisted the 1st Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 2nd Iraqi Army Division in the joint training effort starting Feb.1.
The two elements came together for a three-day BRM course and close-quarter battle drills training, said 1st Sgt. Jon Rettmann, top enlisted member of A Battery, 5-82 FA.
