KEM — Iraqi Army Soldiers from the 2nd Brigade, 9th Iraqi Army Division (Mechanized) and U.S. Soldiers from Company A, 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment went on a joint foot patrol in the villages surrounding Kem, Iraq Saturday afternoon.While on patrol, Iraqi Soldiers and U.S. Soldiers paired up in two man “battle buddy” teams so they could observe each others techniques and get to know their counterpart better.
The American Soldiers said they were impressed with how observant the Iraqi Soldiers were when they pulled security.
“This is a really sharp group, they really know their stuff and they’re really squared away,” said Sgt. Jerrod Border.
