Location Command Receives Unit Self Fielding Equipment
AL SHAIBAH, Iraq - The Iraqi Army Al Shaibah Location Command recently received a substantial shipment of tools and equipment from the Taji National Depot. The cargo is part of the items required in a Unit Set Fielding program. The USF program is designed to provide new Iraqi army units with the tools and equipment needed to accomplish their mission to sustain the Iraqi Security Forces.
The LC was formed with 13 soldiers in July 2008. Since then there has been a steady flow of soldiers into the unit. The LC is located several miles southeast of Al Basrah, and the organization provides third
line logistical support to the Iraqi Army 14th Division and the Basrah Operations Center.
The Iraqi Army General Transportation Regiment made its first delivery of USF equipment to the Location Command at Camp Shaibah. The Iraqi LC commander thanked the GTR Convoy commander for delivering the equipment safely, which required a 1,000 km round trip. The USF equipment arrived on time and intact and ready for immediate implementation.
The new equipment will allow the LC to begin facility and vehicle maintenance programs, which will increase the supply and maintenance capability of the IA in southern Iraq. In particular, the tools issued as part of this fielding unit are critical to the readiness rates of the 14th Division. The LMAT Maintenance Advisor, U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class, Jason Killoran said, “These tools could be considered a combat multiplier because the high quality of maintenance will enable the LC mechanics to repair vehicles faster, safer, and to technical manual standards.”
A LC is a supply and maintenance organization designed to support military forces. The Shaibah LC has new facilities under construction to provide all third line logistical support to the IA in southern Iraq. With this new equipment the Iraqi Army Al Shaibah Location Command is on its way to becoming a logistics hub for all of Southern Iraq. The is capable further the sustainability of the IA and supports the Security Agreement between the United States and the Government of Iraq.
