28th Public Affairs Detachment
CAMP VICTORY — In a place where violence can be part of everyday life, a smile can make a world of a difference. When humanitarian assistance is thrown in, combined with a desire to help others, lives can be changed for the better.
Servicemembers and civilians here realize this, and spend their time helping and working with Iraqis at the Civil Military Operation Center. The center works closely with the Government of Iraq to help as many Iraqi citizens as possible.
The CMOC opens every day to local Iraqis. Most of them come for medical treatment, dental assistance or legal aid. Upon departure, visitors receive humanitarian assistance packages containing food, clothes, toys, hygiene products and school supplies.
