I was here during the elections a couple weeks ago. We had the troops from the Royal Irish Regiment with us, and we were helping to keep the population calm. We are actually helping the troops on the ground, and we have a hand in helping Iraq become a free country. |
One of the challenges in this mission is the British maps are a little different from our maps, so it took some time to get use to them. |
We provide personnel transportation for the British as well as aerial support while the British Soldiers perform vehicle inspections at random intersections throughout the area. The crew kept a watchful eye from the helicopter while providing convoy escorts for troops traveling through the area on their way north. |
