[Weber] Iraq Shatt al-Arab Coastal Border Guard Battalion
oversees observation and vehicle checkpoints up and down Iraq's southeast peninsula.
This area borders Iran and Kuwait and has a long history of weapons,
drugs, and petroleum smuggling. This is why the Army's Border Transition Team
and Iraqi leaders have developed hands-on training necessary
for Iraqi guards to protect their borders. Training includes first aid and room clearing.
Instructor Sergeant 1st Class Adam Ritter: Basically, this is a crawl phase, basic glasshouse
scenarios drawn on the ground, and we use 4-man stack teams to go in
and just teach basic room clearing procedures. [Weber] First aid features proper splint and
tourniquet procedures.
