AL JAMIAH — Iraqi citizens stood in line holding their numbered tickets, and children trudged barefoot through the cold, ankle-deep mud anticipating a chance to be seen by U.S. and Iraqi doctors.
They were waiting for members of 2nd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, who rode to the nearby town of Al Jamiah to conduct a medical day-clinic Jan. 15.
The clinic was a pre-cursor to the medical facility’s projected grand opening in a few months. “The ultimate goal is to get this to be a fully-functioning clinic,” said Capt. Andrew T. Short, battery commander for the 2-82 FA.
