Iraqi officer beginning course on fort (in the United States) Monday

The first Iraqi officer to attend training on this post starts classes Monday.

The officer has been on the post this week preparing for the Military Intelligence Captain�s Career Course, said Lt. Col. Brian Clark.

�Iraqis have made it clear they want to stand up their nation,� Clark said. �The training here (at the Intelligence Center) is part of helping them.�

The officers are taken on trips in Arizona, including going to Tucson, visiting the Arizona Legislature in Phoenix, the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and other places in the Southwest, including an Indian reservation and Tombstone.

1. AZ, huh?

I thought it might have been a training session at the School of the Americas at Fort Benning.
