Maj. Jeffrey Prindle, an Air Force Reservist with the 315th Airlift Wing, Charleston AFB, S.C., believes that the 50 airmen assigned to his command are making a decided difference in Iraqi affairs. The commander of Det. 6, 732nd Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron, in Mosul, Iraq, tells Air Force journalist SSgt. Jeff Kelly, that his airmen have trained nearly 1,000 Iraqi police officers. Prindle said the trainees and Iraqi instructors “have done wonders” to share cultural and tactics information. He added that his team feels “the great satisfaction” from knowing that “These [Iraqi police] officers play critical roles in the establishment of a stable and democratic Iraq and will serve as the strength and protectors of this great country.”
