scribblings from a deist transhumanist libertarian minarchist citizen soldier

Turnover ceremony

The Iraqi Army continues to take over geographical areas of responsiblity; what the military calls battlespace. Yesterday, I covered one such event just north of Baghdad at a place called Camp Taji. Taji is a huge sprawling military complex that is now about 2/3 Iraqi controlled.

The Iraqis were obviously proud of themselves during the ceremony. I didn’t like the Iraqi military band much. Their martial music is unappealing. Units like the 6th Motor Transport Regiment will be a big factor in whether or not Iraqi evolves or devolves. They’re part of the glue that will hold Iraq together in coming years.
