WHAT WE ARE DOING

Read the list of projects ongoing by our guys. And note how many Iraqis are now off the streets by being back in school or having jobs.

More than 80 percent of Iraq’s university students have returned to class.

-- In Sulaymaniah, soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) completed the training of 327 Iraqi border guards at a Kurdish Peshmerga compound. Volunteers received training in conducting customs and security duties at border crossings with Iran. Border guards will begin on-the-job training under the supervision of soldiers in the 101st.

-- In Mosul, the 101st AAD hired nearly 4,000 Iraqis to help with key security and reconstruction programs in northern Iraq.
