- 82ND AIRBORNE WORKS WITH ICDC RECRUITS
Volunteers for the new Iraqi Civil Defense Corps (ICDC) received a medical screening and their first payment of $50 Sept. 18 and are ready to train.
Paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division stood up the first company of 120 ICDC soldiers. The ICDC is organized into two 47-man platoons and a 26-man support platoon. - COALITION ENGINEERS WORK ON BAGHDAD�S SEWER SYSTEM
Soldiers from the 1st Armored Division took to the streets Sept. 18 to fix the city sewage system in the Baghdad neighborhood of Berea.
Although the engineers are playing a major role in the reconstruction of Berea�s sewage system, the Coalition�s effort is focused on support. The Coalition�s role is one of oversight, to help the Iraqis help themselves.
The engineers say the task motivates them because they realize the people of Baghdad are depending on them for their health and well-being.
