FORWARD OPERATING BASE HAMMER, Iraq – The 1st Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, Iraqi national police are partnering with U.S. Soldiers for eight days in Nahrwan.
Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 10th Field Artillery Regiment will work closely with the national police during their partnership in the coming week and onwards, according to Command Sgt. Maj. James Benedict, from Chesterton, Ind., 1-10th FA Regt.
Currently, the 1-10th FA Regt. has assumed responsibility for Nahrwan, a town east of Baghdad. Benedict said the 1/3/1 NP has been called in to assist in operations for the next eight days.
“The goal is to put an Iraqi face on operations,” he said. “If the Iraqi police in Nahrwan need assistance, they call the national police. We will provide support as well, and will work with the Iraqi Security forces to make Nahrwan a more safe and secure place for Iraqi citizens to live.”
Leaders from the 1-10th FA Regt. met with leaders from the 1/3/1 NP from Jisr Diyala at a dinner held Oct. 27 at the dining facility on FOB Hammer, to discuss operations, resources in the area, and to coordinate for the upcoming week.
“We are moving in the right direction,” Benedict said. “Side by side with the Iraqi Security Forces we can work towards the common goal of combating the insurgency.”
The artillerymen of the 1-10th FA Regt. had previously been serving as guards at the Bucca Detention Center as part of Taskforce 134. They were reassigned to the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, and assumed control of Nahrwan, Oct. 15.
1-10th FA Regt. is assigned to the 3rd HBCT, 3rd Inf. Div., from Fort Benning, Ga., and has been deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom since March.
