Photo of the Expanded Team
Over the past week, we added eight members to our team. With two of our original members on leave at all times and us working longer hours we are happy to have them.
The only sad part is that these boys are only temporarily attached to the team. They will redeploy to their home base in Germany months before the team redeploys. Nevertheless, while they are with us, they are not second string. These guys allow the original team time to mentor the Iraqi Army.
