PROGRESS MARCHING ON IN IRAQ
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Daily accomplishments, both large and small – in 
governance, security and reconstruction – marked progress toward Iraqi 
self-reliance as the country marked a year of sovereignty June 28. What 
follows is a partial list of these successes.
On June 1, in the first move of its kind, Coalition forces officially 
transferred full responsibility for security at a base in Dibbis to the 
Iraqi Army. Two hundred dignitaries and civilians attended the 
flag-raising and ribbon-cutting ceremony, where the Iraqi Army took full 
control of base and security operations in the area. This historic move 
marked another significant step in the Iraqi government’s plan to assume 
full responsibility for security and stability operations across the nation.
That same day, Iraqi Army soldiers, working with Coalition aviation 
assets, conducted their first-ever air assault. Approximately 35 
Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division were 
inserted into a landing zone near several small towns and villages 
outside of Baghdad to conduct raids and door-to-door searches for bomb- 
and vehicle-borne improvised explosive device-making materials and 
specific persons of interest. The ability to perform these types of 
operations speaks to the growing maturity of the Iraqi Army.
Reconstruction gained momentum in the Nissan District of Eastern 
Baghdad, where major sewer and water projects broke ground in Kamaliya 
and Oubaidi. After completing a site survey, workers began on the 
project that will ultimately create a sewer network serving 8,870 homes 
in Kamaliya. The area has never had underground sewage lines and relies 
on slit trenches, which leads to sewage pooling in the streets. The 
project will cost about $27 million and will employ 600 local workers at 
peak construction times. As the sewer project takes shape, an existing 
water distribution system will be rehabilitated. About 5,435 homes are 
slated to receive connections to the water main.
On June 4, Basrah airport began civilian flights, opening the gate for 
business growth in the region. A week later, regular flights began 
between Hawler International Airport in Irbil and Baghdad. The flights 
now run three times per week and open a new avenue to encourage foreign 
capital investment by improving accessibility to Iraq’s capital. Other 
growth could be seen when the $100 million Al-Ameen electrical 
substation, which distributes electricity to other substations around 
Baghdad, it was completed on June 5, after about 10 months of work. 
Local workers made up 99 percent of the workforce, putting money back 
into the pockets of the working class.
The Iraqi Navy’s Predator Patrol Boats commenced interoperability 
training with an amphibious transport ship on June 7. The training is 
teaching the Iraqi Navy about ship handling, force protection, and 
weapons handling.
With some help from Iraqi Security Forces, the Iraqi National Soccer 
League resumed play on June 12. More than 10,000 fans showed up for the 
first game, held in the Baghdad Soccer Stadium, and watched Basra beat 
Dahouk 1-0. Iraqi Police officers, Iraqi Army Soldiers and Coalition 
Forces guarded the soccer stadium, which can hold 45,000 fans. The same 
team of security forces will provide security for future games, which 
are scheduled through the end of August.
Soccer teams are getting more than just security—they’re also getting 
fully outfitted. More than 110 soccer uniforms were distributed to local 
coaches in a ceremony June 15 in Sadr City. Following the ceremony, each 
coach was presented with 11 complete sets of uniforms to fully outfit 
their teams.
In a much-publicized event, Iraqi Army soldiers rescued Australian 
hostage Douglas Wood from his captors at 10:50 a.m. on June 15. Soldiers 
from 2nd Battalion, 1st Iraqi Army Brigade discovered Wood and an Iraqi 
hostage in the northwest Baghdad neighborhood of Al Adel while 
conducting a planned cordon-and-search operation for a weapons cache. 
Three individuals were detained during the operation. The IA Soldiers 
also discovered a weapons cache which included four AK-47 rifles and a 
sniper rifle.
In mid-June, construction started on a $1.25 million school project in 
the Fallujah District of Al Anbar Governorate. Out of 13 school projects 
programmed for construction in Fallujah, four are under construction and 
nine are complete. There are 840 school projects programmed throughout 
Iraq; 102 are under construction and 628 are complete.
On June 19, Iraqi workers finished construction on railroad stations in 
Balad and Baiji. These facilities will connect Salah al-Din with 
destinations throughout the provinces, bringing goods to customers and 
citizens in distant cities. Two important rail projects have already 
been completed in Kirkuk: the Kirkuk and al-Maraej stations have been 
rehabilitated. Throughout the rest of the nation, the Ministry of 
Transportation has over 100 rail projects scheduled; 28 are currently 
being built, while 45 have already been completed and are serving the 
people.
During the same week, the U.S. Marine Corps’ 5th Civil Affairs Group and 
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers kicked off the Property Lease Program 
in Fallujah.
Local residents whose homes were or are currently occupied by Coalition 
forces had leases drawn up. Lump-sum payments were also made to eligible 
homeowners for the total time their houses were being used. The payment 
will include the amount of rent owed through Sept. 30, 2005.
Iraq joined 80 nations in Brussels for an historic conference on June 21 
and 22, focusing on Iraq’s reconstruction and paving the way for other 
nations to develop political ties with Iraq. Iraq’s Foreign Minister 
also opened the door for further diplomatic ties between Iraq and other 
Arab nations. Canada announced its ambassador to Jordan would also serve 
in Iraq, and Jordan said it would be sending an ambassador to Iraq soon.
On June 22, one of 167 medical clinic projects planned for the country 
got under way. A $656,000 clinic in the Khanaqin District of the Diyala 
Province (in which Baghdad is located), is one of two programmed for 
construction in the Khanaqin Distict; both are now under construction.
The Iraqi Army’s Soldiers of 2nd Battalion, 1st Iraqi Army Brigade 
graduated from the first organized Iraqi Army Leadership Training Course 
at Forward Operating Base Justice. Military experts agreed the 
development of the non-commissioned officer corps is essential for the 
new Iraqi Army. As the month drew to a close, Iraqi Marines prepared to 
take over security of the Al Basrah and Khawr Al Amaya oil terminals. 
The Iraqi Marines had been supported by Coalition forces since April of 
2004, but now planned to take over security of the oil platforms completely.
On June 27, a water treatment project was finished in Kirkuk, which will 
provide 5,000 people from four villages with clean, potable water, while 
another began in the northwestern Ninewah Province. There are eight 
water projects programmed for construction in Mosul, and 34 water 
projects programmed nationwide. Seven of those are under way, and 18 are 
complete.
Also on the 27th, the Iraqi Navy signed the Iraqi Navy Transition 
Roadmap aboard the Ticonderoga-class cruiser USS Normandy (CG-60). The 
roadmap outlines the plan for the Iraqi Navy to achieve the capability 
to fully defend Iraqi coastal waters, integrating sea operations, shore 
support, boarding-and-search and point-defense of oil terminals with an 
overall command and sustainment program.
Soldiers from Task Force 1-128 and the Iraqi Army took a day off from 
their normal security patrols June 28 and handed out school supplies, 
clothes and shoes in a few small villages during a combat patrol. The 
Soldiers distributed more than 60 boxes of goods containing more than 
100 pairs of shoes, assorted clothes and hundreds of pounds of school 
supplies such as pens, pencils, notebooks and paper to children and 
families in the villages of Albouhaswa, Ahmed Hajam and Ja’afaral Jalaby.

E' logico: nel campo semantico  tra le 'prove' e le 'puttanate', ci 
devono essere 'le palle' , che SdC deve valutare attentamente.
